Building A Modern and Globally Accessible Open-Access Repository : Knowledge Commons Works | Global Digital Humanities Symposium 2025, April 2-8,

Abstract: "As the diversity of DH practitioners and DH products grows, the infrastructure that supports work in DH must grow and evolve. Knowledge Commons Works (KCWorks), based on the Invenio framework, is a new open-access repository launched in Fall 2024 by the Knowledge Commons team built to address these needs. This panel will feature a set of interdisciplinary talks from the KCWorks team and will cover topics including developing infrastructure in a global context, repository and form design for global audiences, generative AI, data storage, and building community with repositories. We will leave time for discussion and feedback from the audience...."
