The Chinese Engineers Relational Database of project A06 (Kaske, Pelzer) is a database of engineers from the Chinese Republican period (1912–1949). The digital analysis of historical registers has led to a prosopographic catalogue of persons, educational institutions, and companies. The data can be put in relation to one another by researchers to answer individual research questions. Morever, Thorben Pelzer and his team provide a bi-montly export of the raw data through the repository Zenodo.

Project C01 (Wardenga, Steinbach-Hüther, Hänsgen) collected and coded an extensive dataset based on the journals of geographical societies. Data are analysed (among others) with Digital Humanities methods. The project moreover exemplifies the many ways of data sharing and reuse. Several theses on BA and MA levels and one dissertation have already been written on the basis of analysing this data. The dataset will be preserved for the long term and is especially suited for further exploitation and reuse.
