Further Development

This reference architecture is the first attempt, and a work-in-progress, to create a reference architecture in the Social Sciences and Humanities research infrastructures. Furthermore, it was the first architecture based upon the RM-SSH reference model. It requires validation against existing and future architectures for services and activities in DARIAH, and elsewhere1. Moreover, it requires further development of the viewpoints, and in particular the computational viewpoint, for DARIAH contribution subtypes. This will aid the understanding of the computational viewpoint with concrete examples of how the described computational objects interact. Furthermore, feedback from users of the reference architecture is essential to the further development as well as a governance structure for future releases.
