Impact and usability for digital humanities research infrastructures

Abstract

This working paper is a report on the adaptation and implementation of the DARIAH-DE style guide as well as further requirements for the usability and success in the management of services in productive operation environments. By evaluating questionnaires that were answered by all software projects of the DARIAH-DE infrastructure, we are able to assess the overall usability and impact of DARIAH-DE. We address some areas, where the impact could be higher, by giving recommendations for action. The evaluation is explained in detail by giving step-by-step descriptions of the used software. The used data set and software are published in the DARIAH-DE repository, see Bibliography.
