Search for research data from one single location and discover new research materials.
ReIReSearch is an online data hub and discovery platform that provides access to a wide range of digital objects. It will be one of the core services in the future RESILIENCE service catalogue. The platform allows researchers to search diverse digital resources and databases in a unified, standardised way, supported by rich metadata from partner institutions. Its intuitive interface makes collections of manuscripts, documents, and rare books in the field of religious studies easy to explore.
Originally developed within a previous project and to be further developed in the near future, ReIReSearch responds to scholars’ need for simple and efficient access to large datasets. By integrating the platform into its future service catalogue, RESILIENCE ensures long‑term hosting and maintenance, while opening the door to future improvements and new collections.
The data on the current version of the discovery platform is provided by partner institutions. They house their own collections of manuscripts, documents, and rare books and represent relevant collections of Christian, Jewish and Muslim works. All of them are searchable simultaneously.
The idea of a meta library is great. The uncomplicated design promises ease of use. --Workshop Participant
