Mapping (meta)data interoperability problems, building the SSHOC Interoperability Hub

01 October 2019

SSHOC aims to provide common services, integrate existing ones, and increase cooperation between the federated research infrastructures within the project. One challenge in creating common services is the diversity and varying practices of different fields of science. This can be seen in the work for SSHOC’s Data and Metadata Interoperability Hub, where we map interoperability issues and solutions across SSHOC member organisations. This article will highlight the main findings from the recently published Report on SSHOC (meta)data interoperability problems.

EMM Survey Registry: Alpha version launched and beta version in development

12 August 2019

The SSHOC team working on the Data Community Pilot ETHMIGSURVEYDATA announced in July 2019 the first release of the EMM Survey Registry, a consolidated database of quantitative surveys on ethnic and migrant minorities studies.
The creation of the database, currently available in alpha version, is a key milestone within the SSHOC project, and showcases the success of coordinated action aimed at bringing together the data from ethnic and migrant minority (EMM) populations into a centralised repository and rendering it FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable).

FAIRsFAIR Open Call for Data Repositories

15 July 2019

The FAIRsFAIR Project is launching an Open Call for Data Repositories, to achieve the CoreTrustSeal certification and support "FAIRification on repositories. Deadline 30 August 2019.

The FAIRsFAIR project started to work on practical solutions for the use of the FAIR data principles throughout the research data life cycle. Emphasis is on fostering FAIR data culture and the uptake of good practices in making data FAIR.
