Virtual research environment in the form of a multimodal database for networking all sub-projects

Summary

Sub-project 1 is designing a multimodal database as the technical infrastructure of the research group, in which events, works and people can be stored and linked in a structured way. In addition to a basic mapping and evaluation of antiziganistimages in sub-project 1, from paintings to pictorial advertisements, the digital research environment as a multimodal database also contains moving images, audio data and text sources for systematic linking with the relevant accompanying materials and discourses of all the disciplines involved.In accordance with the content-related tasks, reception paths and reproduction relationships are to become visible within the research environment through semi-automatic analysis with image-processing algorithms, so that orders of the material can be visualised from the multimodal database. Georeferencing is used to track the tracing paths spatially.

Research questions

1. How can an openly accessible research environment be set up that does not affirm stereotypes and reproduce critical sources?

2. How can affected communities be involved in the development of the research environment?

3. to what extent can sensitive data be presented and where are CARE and FAIR principles in direct contradiction?

Goal

Provision of a DIGITAL RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT (multimodal database) that enables the mapping and evaluation of antiziganist images from paintings to pictorial advertising and ensures a systematic link with the materials and discourses of the neighbouring disciplines involved (cooperation with TP2 and TP 6).
