The present report provides an overview of the various components of the Standardization Survival Kit (SSK) which is conceived as a comprehensive online environment aiming at providing basic information, documentation and resources concerning standards applicable to a wide scope of digitally based humanities and cultural heritage research activities. The report is organized around five main components: - A series of use cases, elaborated and complemented from the ones designed within WP2, and articulating the role of standards in concrete research scenarios. New use cases have been identified when they correspond to strong needs in the research community or have the potential for swift development when the standardization agenda has reached a high level of maturity; - Specific standards related resources (schemas, transforms, documentation) that have been compiled or elaborated within WP4 and that serve as background content for the SSK; - The actual design concept for the SSK that intends to provide a single entry point for scholars, whether novice or advanced, in the domain of digital methods, so that he/she can have quick and precise access to the information needed for managing digital content or applying the appropriate method in his/her scholarly context; - A specific awareness package articulated around the “why standards?” leaflet to make scholars understand the essential role of standardized methods and content for the reusability of research assets. - A set of tools (demonstrator) accessible through a specific VRE, implementing the domain-driven scenarios provided by the research communities represented in PARTHENOS. The report anticipates a transversal analysis of the various scenarios to identify meta standardization domains around generic objects types in particular (text, 3D, archival information, audio/video) for which we feel it is necessary to provide a comprehensive guidance in the domain of standards. This will serve as a basis for deliverable D4.2, and will be accompanied by a series of focused standardization activities in the second phase of the PARTHENOS project. Note: a lot of the material presented in this version of the report will be included in the online version of the SSK thus making the next version of the deliverable likely to be a brief update on this one.
