The Geisteswissenschaftliches Asset Management System (GAMS) is an OAIS-compliant digital asset management system designed for the long-term archiving, publication, and curation of digital resources across all humanities disciplines. Designed and developed at the Department of Digital Humanities (formerly the Center for Information Modelling) at the University of Graz, GAMS empowers research staff, teaching staff, and students to manage and publish their work in a citable format enriched with robust metadata. Adhering to the FAIR data principles, GAMS supports open access through Creative Commons licensing, while also maintaining strong policies for the protection of sensitive data.
As a Regular member of WDS since October 2025, GAMS brings its expertise in open, sustainable, and high-quality research data management to a global network committed to advancing data sharing and stewardship. Both organizations share a dedication to open access, long-term preservation, and rigorous curation standards, ensuring that humanities research data remains accessible and reusable for future generations. By integrating GAMS’s robust infrastructure and commitment to best practices with the WDS community, researchers benefit from enhanced visibility, interoperability, and trust in their digital resources—further supporting the global movement toward transparent and collaborative scholarship.
