DIN
Bridging Data, Disciplines, and People
The Dutch Interoperability Network (DIN) is a community of practice that brings together professionals working on interoperability challenges across research data, digital heritage, and infrastructure domains. The network supports knowledge exchange, collaboration, and alignment of initiatives at the national level.
About the Network
The network aims to strengthen national capacity for interoperability by fostering knowledge exchange, connecting initiatives, and supporting collaboration across disciplines and organisations.
DIN provides a space to discuss practical and strategic questions related to data integration, semantic alignment, infrastructure coordination, and sustainable reuse of data. Through regular meetings and collaborative activities, the network contributes to mapping the Dutch interoperability landscape and identifying opportunities for joint initiatives, training, and community building.
