11. DIGHUMLAB must develop tools and corpora (CLARIN.dk)
integrate research and repositories (Netlab.dk) develop new ways of
integrating media and teaching(Interaction Design) integrate the
community needs with public andscholarly resources to complete and
continue the infrastructure cycle..tosupport and advance humanities

14. DiGHuMLaB employ staff (CLARIN, Netlab, Interaction and
Design Studies) launch DIGHUMLAB nationally and at university level
(uni networks) develop mission, goals and assessment criteria
improve linkages and collaboration (CLARIN, DARIAH) apply for
grants and advisory teams (EADH, ERASMUS, EU RESAW) conduct surveys
(CLARIN, DIGHUMLAB) work with DeIC (Danish eInfrastructure
Consortium) include libraries at Steering Group Level develop
policies and procedures work with cultural institutes influence
National, European and International policy-making and
organizations build website, tools, news-events, resources,
community forums develop the program for the next 4 years (and
beyond)
15. why DiGHuMLaB? help develop scholarly tools for interfaces
to archives help develop policy at Danish and EU level help develop
online communities (universitynetworks, DIGHUMLAB website) share
courses workshops tools corpora and how tointegrate into teaching
and research news and involvement in Danish, Nordic,
EUopportunities
