DARIAH-DE Data Modeling Environment

Environment for modeling data and their relationships.

The Data Modeling Environment (DME) is a tool for modeling and associating data. By means of the DME, data models and mappings between them are defined and provided in terms of interfaces (REST-API). Integrative services such as the generic search access data models and mappings of the DME and utilize them for further processing, transformation and integration of data. A special feature of the DME is that data can be modeled regardless of its disciplinary context, its degree of structure and complexity, and its further use. Thus, in addition to standards such as TEI, MODS and DataCite, data models and mappings of the DME also adress local and specifically developed schemas for which, for example, compliance with FAIR principles is to be achieved. The particular powerfulness of the DME with regard to the modeling of complex research data of the humanities and cultural sciences is based on the language-based approach to the definition of complex data and the associated explication of domain knowledge.
