SLUB Dresden Blog: "Offen und vernetzt: Forschungsdaten in den Kulturwissenschaften" (Open and networked: research data in the cultural sciences)

From Google's English: 

"The raw material of the 21st century is data. Google, Amazon, Facebook and Co. live from our data - and this is not bad. And you are increasingly determining our everyday life. The scientific disciplines in turn cultivate very different, partly open, partly difficult to access data cultures. Surveys, measurements, simulations, imaging techniques, etc. - such as in the life sciences, in the social and geosciences or in astronomy - produce gigantic amounts of data, which in the future will be better developed and more closely networked within the framework of a National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI)."
