DHwiki on Zenodo and on Zotero
The group has set up a Zenodo community, where you find our papers and presentation slides: https://zenodo.org/communities/dariah_dhwiki/
The group maintains a Zotero group, from where bibliographical items are imported into this Wikibase: https://www.zotero.org/groups/5639268/dariah_dhwiki/library
We also are having experiments with a set of Jupyter notebooks using data from this Wikibase instance as showcase.
