The work of the 4Memory consortium is organised into 6 "task areas" that – while working together in a coherent structure oriented on a series of overall goals – each address different aspects of our plans to improve research data management in the historically oriented humanities.
The task areas themselves define their own plans in "measures" that express the procedures, formats or structures through which they will work; in turn, these measures are built upon a series of "tasks" designed to meet specific goals.
What follows is a list of our task areas. Click on the respective task area to see the beginning of a brief description of it, the names and email addresses of the respective task area coordination teams and you come to the full description, if you click on "read more".
