SSHOC at Events

The European Dataverse Workshop 2020, will be held at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, in Tromsø, on January 23-24 2020.
The use case of the SSHOC Dataverse, on which the University of Tromsø is also a collaborating organisation, will be presented by Marion Wittenberg (DANS) on the first morning (10:30-12:00). Furthermore, participants will have the opportunity to take part in a hands-on technical workshop on the Dataverse, held by Vyacheslav Tykhonov (DANS).

Aimed at anyone using computational methods in SSH research and especially those thinking about foundational questions of digital infrastructure in the humanities and social sciences, this workshop will focus on the preconditions of reusing data and tools (documentation, best practices). We will also hear about the latest developments regarding the SSH Open Marketplace.

This workshop is organised by DARIAH-FI and supported by DARIAH-EU.

The DESIR Winter School “Shaping new approaches to data management in arts and humanities” will take place in Lisbon on 10-13 December 2019. The event will be hosted by NOVA FCSH University facilities and is organised in the framework of the Horizon 2020 funded project DESIR (DARIAH ERIC Sustainability Refined).

We aim to attract PhD students, arts and humanities scholars from all career stages and research managers interested in the issues raised by sustainable practices to open up data in the arts and humanities. The event is a joint organisation between DARIAH and NOVA FCSH.

The 2nd SSHOC Consortium meeting will take place in Florence on 14-15 October 2019.

The 2-day event will be an occasion to review the results of the first ten months of activities, to align among the various work packages and share practices and experiences. Representatives from other EOSC-related projects and key eInfrastructures will discuss possible links and synergies, while SSHOC representatives will explore internal overlapses, collaboration between work packages, standards and recommendations.

Help us design the data landscape of the future!

We're gathering recommendations, features and best practices for FAIR semantic artifacts and data repositories/infrastructures! 

Producing FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) scientific data depends on the use of data repositories and domain-specific semantic models or artifacts such as ontologies, thesauri, and controlled vocabularies to properly describe data.  When artifacts and repositories are heterogeneous it's impossible to create the harmonised framework needed to achieve FAIRness.

As one of the five EOSC Cluster Projects, SSHOC has been invited to participate in the EOSC Concertation Meeting jointly organised by DG CNECT and DG RTD on 9 and 10 September 2019.

The workshop aims to increase the visibility of the EOSC-related projects funded by the DGs CNECT and RTD, explore their current state of achievement and discuss issues and potential regarding the next steps towards building the EOSC. In addition to all currently active EOSC-related projects funded from the H2020 programme by the DGs CNECT and RTD, the meeting also provides an opportunity to interact with the members of the Governance and Executive Boards and to understand the work done within these bodies.

SSHOC is coordinating the EOSC Services, Collaborations, and the RDA Plenary side-event, that will bring together the communities of the EOSC cluster projects and the Research Data Alliance. Presentations and discussions will evolve around the commonalities and potential collaborations on community research data management solutions. Seats are limited, register here to join. Registration deadline 14 October 17.00 CEST.

On 2 August 2019 Franciska de Jong, executive director of the SSHOC partner organisation CLARIN ERIC, will give a lecture at the "Culture & Technology" European Summer University in Digital Humanities in Leipzig, Germany. The session, titled "Language as social and cultural data" will present case studies derived from the SSHOC project.

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.
