Positionspapier: Die Objektbiografie als Modell zur Dokumentation und Integration heterogener und multidisziplinärer Objektdaten im Kontext von NFDI4Objects und darüber hinaus

Abstract

Die digitale Transformation in den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften führt zu einer grundlegenden Neuausrichtung der Sammlungs- und Objektdokumentation. Mit der Nationalen Forschungsdateninfrastruktur für die materiellen Hinterlassenschaften der Menschheits- und Umweltgeschichte (NFDI4Objects) entsteht eine wissenschaftsgetriebene Initiative, die sich der Aufgabe widmet, die heterogenen und disziplinübergreifenden Daten zum materiellen Erbe der Menschheits- und Umweltgeschichte in nachhaltige, interoperable und zugängliche Formen zu überführen. Bei NFDI4Objects bilden die Konzepte des Datenlebenszyklus und der Objektbiografie die zentrale Grundlage, an der sich das Konsortium strukturell orientiert. Während der Datenlebenszyklus (Datenerstellung, Datenverarbeitung, Datenanalyse, Datenveröffentlichung, Datenarchivierung) ein im Forschungsdatenmanagement gängiges Prinzip darstellt, wird mit der Objektbiografie ein Grundstein für ein neues Verständnis bei der Erzeugung und Repräsentation von Sammlungsdaten gelegt. Sie verknüpft historische, archäologische, naturwissenschaftliche und museale Perspektiven miteinander und bietet eine Struktur, in der das Objekt als dynamischer Knotenpunkt von Ereignissen, Akteuren, Orten und Bedeutungen verstanden wird. Die Objektbiografie ist demnach kein rein narratives Konzept, sondern ein Paradigma zur Datenmodellierung, das die Semantik materieller Kultur in digitale Wissenssysteme überführt. The digital transformation in the humanities and cultural sciences is leading to a fundamental reorientation of collection and object documentation. The German National Research Data Infrastructure for the Material Remains of Human and Environmental History (NFDI4Objects) is a science-driven initiative dedicated to the task of converting heterogeneous and interdisciplinary data on the material heritage of human and environmental history into sustainable, interoperable, and accessible forms. In NFDI4Objects, the concepts of the data life cycle and object biography form the central basis on which the consortium is structurally oriented. While the data life cycle (data creation, data processing, data analysis, data publication, data archiving) is a common principle in research data management, the object biography lays the foundation for a new understanding of the creation and representation of collection data. It links historical, archaeological, scientific, and museum perspectives and provides a structure in which the object is understood as a dynamic hub of events, actors, places, and meanings. The object biography is therefore not a purely narrative concept, but a paradigm for data modeling that transfers the semantics of material culture into digital knowledge systems.
