Abstract
The French CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research) is involved in almost all scientific fields, including Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS). Within the HSS, transition to digital humanities has been on the CNRS agenda for more than 10 years, leading in particular the creation of so-called very large-scale research infrastructures (TGIR). The presentation will provide a closer look at two of these TGIRs, TGE Adonis and CORPUS-IR, at related developments and the ways in which non-textual information is handled in these facilities. The goal of Adonis is to provide three types of services to the HSS communities: preservation, processing and dissemination of digital objects produced by the research labs. Adonis is working closely with CINES, center for long-term preservation in French higher education and research, and has a role of coordination of the Centers of digital resources, which have been created by CNRS since 2005. A special focus will be on the ISIDORE platform, a unique access point to various kinds of resources, using state-of-the-art data linking and enrichment techniques. It will finally be mentioned how non-textual information is also finding its way into the HAL central open archive run by CNRS.
