IBI ‒ Berlin School of Library and Information
Science at Humboldt-Universität zu
Berlin has comprehensive experience in
research data management, data publication, and information

Research Centre for Geosciences and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology,
IBI has established a world-wide registry for research data
repositories.
LZI – Leibniz Center for Informatics
operates DBLP, the most comprehensive open
database for bibliographic metadata in computer science, in close
collaboration with the University of Trier. The DBLP web site is
visited by more than 600,000 international visitors each month, and
numerous projects and services build and rely on DBLP’s curated, open
metadata. Since 1990, LZI has organized informatics conferences of
the highest scientific caliber at Schloss Dagstuhl. It also promotes
and supports continuing and advanced academic education and the
transfer of knowledge between academia and industry.
The Data & Knowledge Engineering group at HHU conducts research at the intersection of semantic technologies, information retrieval and NLP, aiming at improving usability of heterogeneous data, information and knowledge on the web. A particular focus is on methods for understanding discourse and user interactions in large web archives, social media and scholarly resources.
