  text: "Digital data on tangible and intangible cultural assets is an essential part
    of daily life, communication and experience. It has a lasting influence on the
    perception of cultural identity as well as on the interactions between research,
    the cultural economy and society. Throughout the last three decades, many cultural
    heritage institutions have contributed a wealth of digital representations of
    cultural assets (2D digital reproductions of paintings, sheet music, 3D digital
    models of sculptures, monuments, rooms, buildings), audio-visual data (music,
    film, stage performances), and procedural research data such as encoding and annotation
    formats. The long-term preservation and FAIR availability of research data from
    the cultural heritage domain is fundamentally important, not only for future academic
    success in the humanities but also for the cultural identity of individuals and
    society as a whole. Up to now, no coordinated effort for professional research
    data management on a national level exists in Germany. NFDI4Culture aims to fill
    this gap and create a user-centered, research-driven infrastructure that will
    cover a broad range of research domains from musicology, art history and architecture
    to performance, theatre, film, and media studies.</jats:p>\r\n          <jats:p>The
    research landscape addressed by the consortium is characterized by strong institutional
    differentiation. Research units in the consortium's community of interest comprise
    university institutes, art colleges, academies, galleries, libraries, archives
    and museums. This diverse landscape is also characterized by an abundance of research
    objects, methodologies and a great potential for data-driven research. In a unique
    effort carried out by the applicant and co-applicants of this proposal and ten
    academic societies, this community is interconnected for the first time through
    a federated approach that is ideally suited to the needs of the participating
    researchers. To promote collaboration within the NFDI, to share knowledge and
    technology and to provide extensive support for its users have been the guiding
    principles of the consortium from the beginning and will be at the heart of all
    workflows and decision-making processes. Thanks to these principles, NFDI4Culture
    has gathered strong support ranging from individual researchers to high-level
    cultural heritage organizations such as the UNESCO, the International Council
    of Museums, the Open Knowledge Foundation and Wikimedia. On this basis, NFDI4Culture
    will take innovative measures that promote a cultural change towards a more reflective
    and sustainable handling of research data and at the same time boost qualification
    and professionalization in data-driven research in the domain of cultural heritage.
    This will create a long-lasting impact on science, cultural economy and society
    as a whole."
