Propylaeum@heiData

In addition to the e-publishing services for articles, books and journals, the Specialized Information Service Classical Studies - Propylaeum offers classical scholars worldwide the opportunity to have their associated research data permanently archived. These can be linked directly to online publications on the Heidelberg publication platforms. All research data, be it images, videos, audio files, tables, graphics, etc., receive a DOI (Digital Object Indentifier) and are therefore permanently citable and visible and linkable as independent scientific achievements. The long-term archiving of research data is a central aspect of good scientific practice. It is the prerequisite for the fundamental traceability and verifiability of scientific results that are based on the evaluation of this data. In addition, archiving such data offers the opportunity to reuse it in the context of new scientific questions in the future.

The associated research data publications are fed into Propylaeum@heiDATA and dynamically integrated into the online publication from there. In addition, images, audio and video data and other multimedia objects can also be stored on the heidICON platform operated by the University Library or integrated into the Heidelberg digitization system DWork, which is also sustainably hosted by the University Library. In future, not only the publications themselves, but also the media objects used will be archived sustainably in the OAIS-compatible long-term archive system heiARCHIVE, which is currently being developed by the University Computer Center and the University Library as part of the Competence Center for Research Data (KFD).

The code of software used in the context of publications can also be published and archived on heiDATA in the long term.
