Description

Taken from RISE page (Accessed: Dec 8, 2025):

RISE Project—Research Infrastructure for the Study of Eurasia—is a digital research infrastructure developed by the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. It is a pioneering approach for resource dissemination and emerging data analytics in the humanities. Its various technical components facilitate the secure linkage between third-party research tools and various third-party textual collections (both licensed and open-access ones) via a standard API called SHINE.

Tools

Taken from RISE page (Accessed: Dec 8, 2025):

• SHINE is an API standard for exchanging textual resources, both open-access ones and protected (or licensed) ones that require authentication and authorization.
• RISE is a middleware that protects resource exchanges via SHINE. It authenticates and authorizes these exchanges, especially for protected (or licensed) resources.

Use Cases

Taken from RISE page (Accessed: Dec 8, 2025):

• LoGaRT: Local Gazetteers Research Tools
  • A digital research infrastructure that would allow historians to conduct research on Chinese local gazetteers. (ran between 2015-2013)
  • Available at: https://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/research/projects/logart-local-gazetteers-research-tools

• Kanseki Repository
  • Comprehensive repository of premodern Chinese texts providing structured access with version control through GitHub. The collection includes classical texts organized by traditional categories.
  • The RISE middleware mapped SHINE API endpoints with Kanripo’s GitHub repositories, allowing users programmatic access to the texts via SHINE API or in the RISE Catalog in a standardized fashion.
