Case study
The Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) Open Marketplace is a discovery portal supported by DARIAH, CESSDA, and CLARIN. It pools and contextualises resources for social sciences and humanities research, including tools, services, training materials, datasets, and publications. It highlights research practices, aggregates well-curated resources, and provides contextualisation, making it more than just a catalogue.
Problem addressed
SSH Open Marketplace addresses the urgent need of the social sciences and humanities community for a place to gather and exchange information about their tools, services, and datasets. While many project websites, service registries, and data repositories exist, the lack of a centralised platform integrating these assets and offering domain-relevant means to enrich and communicate them is evident.
Added value
Contextualising software and services with screenshots, tutorials, and links to datasets, training materials, and publications.
Supporting community-based collection and description of digital methods and workflows in the social sciences and humanities.
Aggregating heterogeneous (meta)data, using multiple classification schemas and connecting them to external identifiers through a flexible metadata schema.
