The German National Library will be closed at both locations. The exhibitions of the German Museum of Books and Writing will open from 10:00 to 18:00.

The Federal Government and the states are providing up to EUR 90 million a year in funding for the development of the German National Research Data Infrastructure. Their aims are to make systematic, sustainable improvements that will facilitate access to research data, to catalogue data that until now was mostly stored in decentralised repositories, and to make it permanently available to more users. With this, they are supporting the establishment of up to 30 consortia consisting of universities, non-university research institutions, departmental research facilities, academies and other publicly funded information infrastructure organisations. The aim is to develop standards for interoperable research data management and to ensure international connectivity.

The German National Library is a partner in the Text+ and NFDI4Culture consortia.

Text+

  • Launched: 2021
  • Objective: Text+ comprises more than 30 partners from university and non-university research institutions and memory institutions. The consortium aims to preserve text-and language-based research data for the long term and to facilitate its widespread utilisation in academia. Within the framework of the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), Text+ is establishing a research data infrastructure focused on language, written and text data.

The German National Library is contributing open access information such as metadata and digitised tables of contents to the Text+ data corpus besides providing new opportunities for academics to work with its digital collections using the text and data mining possibilities authorised by law.

NFDI4Culture – Consortium for Research Data on Material and Immaterial Cultural Heritage

  • Launched: 2021
  • Objective: Digital data on material and non-material cultural heritage has a sustainable influence on the perception of cultural identity and the interactions between research, the cultural economy and society. NFDI4Culture aims to create a user-oriented, research-oriented infrastructure of material and non-material cultural heritage. The consortium covers a wide spectrum of research disciplines – from musicology, art history and architecture to performance, theatre, film and media sciences.

In its role as a “participant” in the consortium, the German National Library is mainly involved in task 2, “standards, data quality and curation”.
