GOTRIPLE: Building an innovative discovery platform for the social sciences and humanities

TRIPLE - Transforming Research through Innovative Practices for Linked Interdisciplinary Exploration is an ongoing project funded under the European Commission program INFRAEOSC-02-2019 “Prototyping new innovative services”. TRIPLE started in October 2019 and will end in March 2023.

The TRIPLE consortium is made up of 19 partners from 13 different countries and involves almost 90 people with diverse disciplinary backgrounds who collaborate to develop the GOTRIPLE platform, an innovative multilingual and multicultural discovery solution for the social sciences and humanities (SSH). GOTRIPLE will provide a single access point to explore, find, access and reuse materials such as literature, data, projects and researcher profiles at European scale.

The GOTRIPLE platform is composed of a core component, built upon the Isidore search engine developed by by Huma-Num (CNRS), and complemented by a variety of connected innovative tools: a web annotation service (Pundit), a Trust Building System and a recommender system. The front-end visualisations are based on open technologies developed by Open Knowledge Maps. Moreover, we plan to connect a crowdfunding platform to GOTRIPLE. In order to facilitate internal and external discussions among users, a Forum will be implemented as well.

GOTRIPLE will be one of the dedicated services of OPERAS, the research infrastructure supporting open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities in the European Research Area.

The proposed poster presents the goals of the TRIPLE project and the ways the project is addressing them both through the work of its 8 intertwined work packages, and via the collaboration with existing research infrastructures in SSH, i.e. mainly CESSDA, CLARIN and DARIAH.
