Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities. DARIAH was established as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) in August 2014.

By working with communities of practice, DARIAH brings together individual state-of-the-art digital arts and humanities activities and scales their results to a European level. It preserves, provides access to and disseminates research that stems from these collaborations and ensures that best practices, methodological and technical standards are followed.

Davidson, then Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies at Duke University and David Theo Goldberg, Director of the University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI). Rather than simply a website, HASTAC, which includes the HASTAC Scholars Fellowship Program (an innovative student-driven community of graduate and undergraduate students), was developed to be a commons, an active, open online social network, where any member could contribute ideas and network with any other member by means of conferences, events, online forums, and blogs . This was before Facebook or even MySpace. A 2014 National Science Foundation review described HASTAC as the "world's first and oldest academic social network."
