FID Bauingenieurwesen, Architektur und Urbanistik digital (BAUdigital) - Gemeinsamer Abschlussbericht

Abstract

The aim of the Specialised Information Service (FID) BAUdigital was to establish a joint information, networking and data exchange platform for the fields of civil engineering, architecture and urbanism (urban planning). The project was a cooperation of Braunschweig University Library (UBBS), Darmstadt University and State Library (ULB), TIB - Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology University Library (TIB) and the Fraunhofer Informationszentrum Raum und Bau (IRB) funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft from 2020 to 2023. The FID has developed a diverse infrastructure system for the active, systematic provision of subject-specific information, tools and services. This service infrastructure promoted interdisciplinary and collaborative exchanges between the communities involved. It also responded to the needs and desiderata expressed by the community before and during the project in terms of advice, technologies and re-usability of subject-specific research data and information. The FID specifically addressed and supported tasks scientific research, networking and publishing of researchers from civil engineering, architecture and urbanism who use digital methods and technologies. Specifically, the FID facilitated - the communication of events and services (via web service platform, newsletter, social media), - the provision of information on conferences, projects, researchers and institutions (research atlas), - the subject-specific search for literature, research data, audiovisual (AV) media and specialized databases - the ingest and curation of retro-digitized material and research data with subject-specific application profiles via the so-called Workbench - long-term archiving of subject-specific research data, - indexing and searching with a subject-specific thesaurus and - subject-specific information and advice on Open Access publishing.
