Lowering the costs of integrating quantitative and qualitative steps in workflows using corpora in social science research designs is a major objective of Research Infrastructures such as CLARIN, and of the polmineR package, an open source R package available at the Comprehensive R Archive Network / CRAN.

This workshop addresses the challenges that specific user communities experience when contributing to SSHOC, the availability of procedures, tools and services to address these challenges, and the extent that these procedures, tools and services are sufficiently applicable for specific user communities, which is one of the major goals of the SSHOC project, tackled within WP9.
