International institutions of research funding have contributed tremendous efforts into that transitory process and have encouraged a variety of projects for the advancement of the Digital Humanities <ref xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" type="note" target="n03" n="3">3 </ref>, focusing on attempts to further the development of infrastructures for digital scholarship in the humanities. In Europe, for example, the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (<ref xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" target="http://ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm?pg=esfri">ESFRI</ref>) has funded several infrastructure projects such as the Digital Research Infrastructures for the Arts and Humanities (<ref xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" target="http://www.dariah.eu/">DARIAH</ref>) and the Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure (<ref xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" target="http://www.clarin.eu/">CLARIN</ref>), which have since been complemented by the Data Service Infrastructure for the Social Sciences and Humanities (<ref xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" target="http://dasish.eu/about_dasish/">DASISH</ref>). Each of these infrastructure projects have, in turn, influenced a number of other endeavours on a national, regional, institutional or disciplinary level.
