[IG Text] Request for Comment: WP3 Virtual Research Environment Plan 3 #18

Closed proycon closed 2 years ago

proycon commented 3 years ago

Within CLARIAH WP3 there have been plans for a so-called "Virtual Research Environment" (VRE) for several years already and this was given funding in CLARIAH-CORE and CLARIAH-PLUS. A first ambitious plan already emerged in 2017 by Daan Broeder et al. and had been worked on for a while, but this effort eventually failed and was ceased, leaving a gap to be filled.

Some weeks ago I proposed a completely renewed third VRE plan and discussed this with WP3, who agreed to continue with this proposal and in doing so fill the gap. The main focus of the plan is connectivity/interoperability between WP3 tools and building upon what we already have and get the most out of it, essentially and paradoxically, we intend to provide a VRE without very explicitly building a VRE, "the whole is more than the sum of its parts".

Please read the full plan here:

The initial plan was written in a way that it could even be conducted by one developer (myself), hence the focus on solutions I developed in the years for WP3, but more capacity is available so there is some room for expansion, which is currently being discussed internally at HuC. Involvement of other CLARIAH partners (also beyond WP3, especially WP6 comes to mind) would be much appreciated.

I would now like to requests comments from the Interest Group about this plan, specific questions I want to ask are:

  1. Are there specific tools you feel are missing in the current plan and that should be considered for integration?
  2. Are there particular connections between tools that you (or someone you know) are interested in? Bonus points if you can you think of specific use cases.
  3. Do you have other comments, questions, or concerns about the plan and the direction it takes?

Closing because no longer relevant, Text IG no longer exists and VRE plans are superseded by CLARIAH+ SDR developments
