Abstract:

The emergence of digital humanities open data platforms and datasets provides a solid data foundation for humanities scholars to conduct related research. Investigating the application of FAIR principles to these platforms can promote the sharing and utilization of open data, while guiding their data management norms. This paper constructs a FAIR Application Indicator System for digital humanities open data platforms based on the FAIR principles and related evaluation frameworks. 10 representative platforms, both domestic and international, are selected for evaluation across the four dimensions: findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability. Finally, suggestions are made for the application of FAIR principles to digital humanities open data platforms, focusing on identifier formulation, metadata preservation statements, vocabulary reuse, and domain standards compliance. These recommendations aim to support the construction, utilization, and sustainable development of digital humanities open data platforms.
