Building on a long-standing experience in the study of Open Science practices in the natural sciences (particularly the biological and biomedical sciences), as well as advocacy for the adoption of Open Science practices among philosophers, historians and social scientists, this talk reflects on what the more “mature” Open Science initiatives can teach to domains that are only starting to consider this way of working. Leonelli focuses both on the positive lessons, for instance around the significance of choosing metadata standards, and on the negative lessons, which include adopting problematic classification systems and failing to pay attention to the ethical and social context of data extraction and re-use.

Sabina Leonelli is Professor of Philosophy and History of Science at the University of Exeter, where she co-directs the Centre for the Study of the Life Sciences (Egenis). In 2021-22 she is a Fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin. She is also a Fellow of Alan Turing Institute, Academia Europaea and Académie Internationale de Philosophie de la Science; and Editor-in-Chief of History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences. Her research concerns the epistemology, history and governance of data-intensive science and plant research; modelling integration across the biological, environmental and health sciences; and open science and related evaluation systems in the global – and highly unequal – research landscape. This latter topic is the focus of her current ERC project “A Philosophy of Open Science for Diverse Research Environment” (PHIL_OS; www.opensciencestudies.eu). Her books include Data-Centric Biology: A Philosophical Study (2016), Data Journeys in the Sciences (2020, with Niccolo Tempini), Model Organisms (2020, with Rachel Ankeny) and Data in Society: A Critical Introduction (2021, with Anne Beaulieu).

This session presents GoTriple, the future discovery service of OPERAS, and how it will be integrated into and thus enrich the services of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) for the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) communities across Europe and beyond.

GoTriple is being developed by the TRIPLE project (2019-2023). This ambitious project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation action funding scheme INFRAEOSC-02-2019 “Prototyping new innovative services” (grant agreement no. 863420) and involves 21 partners from 13 European countries.

GoTriple will be delivered in March 2023 to help researchers explore, find, access and (re)use open scholarly SSH resources in nine different languages (Croatian, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portugese, Spanish). The platform will collect research data and publications, researchers’ profiles and projects. Five additional innovative digital services and systems will be integrated into the platform to support research (e.g. visualisation, annotation, trust building and recommender system) and to discover new ways of funding research (e.g. crowdfunding). A short demo will present these features.

The project is resolutely user needs oriented – a community of researchers but also of non-researchers has accompanied the consortium since the beginning of the project to ensure that the platform meets their current needs. The objective is also to encourage interdisciplinarity and exchange between researchers from different disciplines and generations.

GoTriple will support scientific, industrial and societal applications of SSH by maximising the reuse of resources through Open Science and FAIR principles and a multidisciplinary transfer of knowledge. The platform will also increase the economic and societal impact of SSH resources for the scientific community at large, as well as for citizens, policy makers, media and enterprises.

Emilie Blotière is Project Manager of the TRIPLE project and works in CNRS (Huma-Num infrastructure). She is also member of the OPERAS Coordination Team, the European Research Infrastructure devoted to open scholarly communication. She is projects’ coordinator for the research infrastructure. She graduated with a Master in digital humanities applied to historical disciplines and a degree in history. Before her professional reorientation in digital humanities, she worked in bank and insurance companies as an institutional partnerships manager in the field of Wealth Management.

This session focuses on the GoTriple vocabulary as well as on the results of the first GoTriple Hackathon in November 2021. 

The goal of the Hackathon is to assess and improve coverage of the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) in the GoTriple vocabulary by using existing subject headings systems (i.e. systems which use specific words or phrases in order to categorise and organise books and articles) that are already in use for the organisation of publications in social sciences and humanities (SSH) disciplines in the languages that are represented in the TRIPLE project (Croatian, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish).

In fact, the impact of the GoTriple Hackathon is much greater: The workflow created during the event helps to incorporate national, multilingual resources into the international exchange of knowledge about the procedure that should be followed in the future for the data mapping between LCSH or other international databases and national non-English data sources.

In this session, we will discuss whether crowdfunding can be seen as a potential solution to the lack of funding for the social sciences and humanities (SSH). Crowdfunding is the practice of funding projects/ideas via the internet, normally done by a large group of people. GoTriple will have its own crowdfunding service, which will support SSH research projects. There is, however, a need to reflect critically on the extent to which a crowdfunding solution can help foster good quality research and also to understand how to set up such a crowdfunding solution which is successful and highly usable. The session will comprise three parts: 

1. a presentation of selected results of the research on crowdfunding conducted for the TRIPLE project
2. a panel discussion with invited speakers
3. a demo presentation of the GoTriple crowdfunding solution. 

After each part, there will be time for a group discussion.

There is no single ideal business model (BM) for Open Science (OS) ecosystems that can be adopted as a standard. In this session, we will provide an overview of existing BM for OS Ecosystems based on the research conducted within the TRIPLE project. Founders/Directors of existing OS platforms provide practical insights regarding a sustainable BM. In the following panel discussion, we will debate about pros and cons of different models and derive implications towards developing a sustainable BM for OS ecosystems such as the GoTriple platform.

The session is divided into three main parts: 

1. Overview of BMs for OS Ecosystems out of TRIPLE Competitor Analysis,
2. Presentation of the BM of existing OS Platforms,
3. Panel discussion on BM success factors,

The GoTriple discovery platform is designed to be integrated into and thus to enrich the services of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) for the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) communities across Europe and beyond – so as to enable the European SSH communities at large discovering and reusing SSH resources across disciplinary and language boundaries. 

More precisely, GoTriple : 

• brings together digital scholarly objects of all kinds from a wide range of databases, data repositories, publishing and aggregation services to promote findability and reduce fragmentation within SSH;
• enables interoperability, connecting the SSH data landscape with the European scholarly data commons as well as the larger Open Science frameworks and infrastructures;
• will serve hand in hand with the SSH Open Marketplace, a resource to search for and find a wealth of research tools (developed by the SSHOC project), as the EOSC SSH component.

This session is dedicated to explore GoTriple connections, links and interdependencies with the major components of the EOSC ecosystem. The panelists will be engaged in a debate, focused on the actual and envisaged relations mainly between the TRIPLE and the SSHOC project components.
