Short Description and objectives of the workshop
SSHOC will realise the Social Sciences and Humanities part of the European Open Science Cloud. One of the SSHOC project’s core objectives is to foster the transition from the current Social Sciences and Humanities landscape into a cloud-based infrastructure, that will operate according to the FAIR principles, offering access to research data and related services adapted to the needs of the SSH community. Furthermore, the tools, services, repositories and other resources brought in by project partners or generated during the course of the project will be featured in the SSH Open Marketplace.
The project partners are developing tools and services for SSH researchers, data experts and research librarians who are part of the targeted end-users of the content of the SSH Open Marketplace. SSHOC aims to align the SSH Open Marketplace and its content with current research data practices.
The SSH Open Marketplace has been developed in the SSHOC project for over a year now. The approach for development activities is to use agile and UX best practices, therefore involving targeted end-users as much as possible. Workshops, interviews, brainstorming sessions as well as prioritisation meetings were heavily used in our developments. As a result, the project is going to release alpha version of the SSH Open Marketplace in June 2020. To follow our development approach and improve SSH Open Marketplace offerings, the project needs ongoing user feedback and engagement. Therefore the proposed workshop will have the following main objectives:
- Raise awareness of the SSH Open Marketplace and the services and tools incorporated for research communities. Provide clear information on how SSH Open Marketplace can help researchers in their daily activities and how it supplements and the existing services offered by EOSC (e.g. EOSC Marketplace).
- Engage SSH research community present at ICTeSSH to collect their input and feedback on the functionality and content of the SSH Open Marketplace, including reflections on the maintenance routines planned to be implemented in the system.
- Share experiences from using agile and UX best practices in development activities of the SSH Open Marketplace.
