A Resource Centre for the HumanitiEs (ARCHE) is a digital archive provided by the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities, which is part of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The archive welcomes data from all humanities fields and offers persistent hosting as well as dissemination of resources. The technical setup of ARCHE is described, focusing on the bespoke metadata schema that was created to help in finding, accessing, and reusing data. Beyond that the schema binds together the different system components, contains mappings to other well-known schemas, provides multilingual labels for GUI display, and is used to generate a metadata form.
