What is data in the arts and research?

Research data are not only generated in scientific projects. Artistic working processes also produce a wide variety of materials that should be documented, organised, preserved and, where appropriate, published. Examples of research and project data include:

• Sketches, drafts and notebooks
• Photographs, videos and audio recordings
• Interview material and transcripts
• Measurement data and experimental results
• Documentation of rehearsals, workshops or performances
• Digital models, software and programme code
• Archival materials and collection data
• Project reports, publications and exhibition materials

The Service Navigator helps you to organise these materials effectively throughout the entire life cycle of an artistic or scientific project.

This navigator comes in three phases:

Enable

Guidance

Save, Communicate & Disseminate
