GoTriple: Multilingual Discovery Platform for SSH

GoTriple is an innovative multilingual discovery platform for the social sciences and humanities (SSH). It provides one of the central access points for discovering and reusing research artefacts that are relevant to the wide variety of disciplines under the umbrella domain of SSH: publications and research data, project descriptions and researcher profiles are automatically imported from aggregators and source providers, semantically enriched and linked in GoTriple. The platform enables users to: discover and reuse open scholarly SSH resources, which are currently scattered across local and discipline-specific repositories in multiple European languages; find and connect with other researchers and projects across disciplinary, cultural and language boundaries; make use of innovative tools and services to support research, visualisation of search results, web annotation, personalised recommendations and social networking; explore new ways of funding research such as crowdfunding. As far as the multilingual support in GoTriple is concerned, currently, the platform: provides automatic classification of content upon ingestion in 11 languages, namely: Croatian, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovenian, Spanish, Ukrainian; uses for the Automatic annotation the TRIPLE Vocabulary which provides a hierarchical set of over 3.300 SSH-related concepts in these 12 languages: Croatian, Dutch (partial), English, French, Finnish, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Ukrainian; presents its user interface localised in various languages, including English, Italian and French.
GoTriple was inspired by the Isidore search engine developed by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). It is the Discovery Service of OPERAS, the Research Infrastructure supporting open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities in the European Research Area, and it is one of the services of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), specifically devoted to the SSH communities. GoTriple is the main outcome of the European Research project TRIPLE (Transforming Research through Innovative Practices for Linked Interdisciplinary Exploration). TRIPLE has been funded under the Horizon 2020 framework and run from October 2019 until March 2023. This presentation will focus on the latest updates to the platform and future plans while aiming to engage the audience for feedback and suggestions on how the platform can improve and better serve its users.
