#VERA is now part of the ATRIUM: Advancing Frontier Research in the Arts & Humanities Catalogue, a comprehensive set of services & software designed to support all the stages in the digitally enabled data-driven research in the Arts and Humanities. The curated catalogue features resources for creating, processing, analysing, preserving and reusing digital data across various disciplines, from archaeology to linguistics. The ATRIUM catalogue includes tools, services and workflows developed or used by partners in the ATRIUM project, provided they are included in the SSH Open Marketplace, have sufficient metadata and are publicly accessible. VERA can be a powerful tool for one of the main goals of ATRIUM: the involvement of engaged communities in the participatory research supported by the project. OPERAS Metrics and GoTriple are also part of the ATRIUM Catalogue.
