The CRC’s infrastructure – research data repository, annotation services, conceptual thesaurus and thesaurus of religious metaphors – fosters reusability as well as interoperability with external knowledge graphs by focusing on open data principles and will be published under open licenses. In particular, the emerging TRM will act as a unique resource for scholars worldwide studying religious metaphors. The INF project itself is an integral part of the CRC in providing this shared infrastructure and thus enabling comparative studies on an unprecedented scale in the field.
