Collaborating in the SSH Open Marketplace

The Social Sciences and Humanities Open Marketplace (SSH Open Marketplace) – marketplace.sshopencloud.eu – is a discovery portal which pools and contextualises resources for Social Sciences and Humanities research communities: tools, services, training materials, datasets, publications and workflows. The SSH Open Marketplace showcases solutions and research practices for every step of the research data life cycle. In doing so, it facilitates discoverability and findability of research services and products that are essential to enable sharing and re-use of workflows and methodologies. The institutional context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) on which the SSH Open Marketplace has been built and is sustained – via the SSH Open Cluster – allows for a stable maintenance environment. Developed to be complementary to the GoTriple platform powered by OPERAS, the SSH Open Marketplace presents and contextualises content types not covered by GoTriple, both portals offering a complete discovery environment for Social Scientists and Humanities researchers. This poster will present how the SSH Open Marketplace can provide insights into the use of tools, methods and standards in Social Sciences and Humanities and how it can increase serendipity in the discovery of new methods and standards by interlinking the resources and describing workflows. The audience of the OPERAS Conference can bring their own ideas and discuss them with the SSH Open Marketplace representatives and will be invited to contribute to the creation of new or enrichment of existing records guided by the members of the SSH Open Marketplace Editorial Board presenting the poster during the event.
