WP5: Innovations in Data Access

MS29 Tested connections between partners with live data and researcher projects

This Milestone assesses the testing of the remote Safe Room connections between the Secure Data Facilities of the GESIS Secure Data Center and the UKDS Secure Lab. These tests were carried out by bona fide researchers who had submitted full research applications to the respective data service and involved the analysis of live data. This report includes a summary of the researcher applications and tests as well as the researcher feedback collected following the test, which will inform further improvements to the service for researchers.

MS30 Recommendations for a platform for further expansion

The purpose of this milestone is to highlight one section of the Deliverable D5.10 White Paper on Remote Access to Sensitive Data in the Social Sciences and Humanities: 2021 and Beyond. This section concerns recommendations for proposed future solutions.

MS37 Unified CIDOC CRM mapping of the Extended Matrix and the LOD scenario

In task 5.7 (Open Linked Data. Archaeology Case Study), a virtual reconstruction of the Roman theatre in Catania has been created as an example of a transition of archaeological data to the cloud, i.e., from data silos on individual computers to webservices. The case study is based on a unified workflow that starts with the archaeological documentation and results in a virtual reconstruction. The data was processed in the Extended Matrix (EM) system that has been developed by the ITABC.

MS36 Case study Roman theatre in Catania: Transfer of the 3D data to the open source Extended Matrix system and concept of a LOD scenario

This Milestone reports on a snapshot of the work of Task 5.7 (Open Linked Data. Archaeology Case Study), as presented in the SSHOC archaeological case study Workshop – The Roman theatre in Catania from survey to interactive 4D visualization, in May 2021.

MS34 Expose ESS’ interoperable services to external consumers

Milestone 34, Expose ESS’ interoperable services to external consumers, was achieved on 17 December 2021.

MS23 Usability test of internal data release of one biomedical data set linked to survey data

The goal of Task 5.1 - Legal, ethical and technological issues of access to biomedical data is to tackle legal, ethical and technological issues of access to biomedical data. After taking care of legal and ethical issues (D5.1) and assuring data access according to FAIR principles (D5.2 & D5.3), this report is a step towards the actual release of the data (D5.4)

MS24 Implementation of standard Dataverse installation on EOSC (Standard installation of repository service online)

Task 5.2 of the SSHOC project will develop a repository services for institutes (of CESSDA, DARIAH, CLARIN, E- RIHS) running centrally on cloud platforms or to download as a ‘archive in a box’ solution for individual institutes. These services will provide SSH institutions without a data repository service, such a facility for their designated communities. For institutes with limited technical resources, the service offers an opportunity to simply and effectively create an online repository.

D5.16 Report on making heritage science data FAIR (Open data in Heritage Science and Archaeology)

This deliverable reports on work carried out within SSHOC Task 5.6 - Issues in providing Open Data in Heritage Science and Archaeology. It focusses specifically on issues related to working with Heritage Science data and examines the accessibility and interoperability of such data. Starting with two distinct, but related, non-standard datasets, covering the documentation and study of old master paintings, the work created new fully semantic, linkable, shareable, machine-readable FAIR datasets mapped to the standard CIDOC-CRM ontology and other external Linked Open Data resources.

D5.14 Report on Preparing the ESS for Services in the EOSC (ESS as a Service)

Task 5.5. ESS as a service: a pilot making cross-national survey data FAIR aims to increase the FAIRness of ESS data, with particular focus on increasing the interoperability of data holdings, and to make ESS data and metadata available from the European Open Science Cloud.

As part of the task, a new repository platform, APIs, landing pages and solutions for authentication and authorization were developed and deployed.

D5.6 - Report on principles of governance and sustainability for repository services that make use of the software delivered in D5.5

In the context of the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud - SSHOC project realising the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) part of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), Task 5.2 Hosting and sharing data repositories (T5.2) has worked towards adjusting and enhancing the Dataverse repository software to the needs of the SSH research communities. Dataverse is an open-source, community-driven data repository software that has been tailored to serve the SSH communities.
