A SURF project has helped create a digital home for dying languages. The University of Leiden Library in Holland, in collaboration with the CARDS (Controlled Access to Research Data Stored Securely) project of SURF in the Netherlands, is working on a project with Roberta D'Alessandro, Professor of Italian at Leiden University, to develop a data management system to manage and share important research data on dying Italian dialects. For Roberta and her team being able to upload and share the data they have collected is a central feature of the system, simplifying collaboration and allowing other language researchers to use the material.
