Putting your Social Sciences and Humanities resources in the SSH Open Marketplace

The Social Sciences and Humanities Open Marketplace (SSH Open Marketplace) is a discovery portal which pools and contextualizes resources for Social Sciences and Humanities research communities: tools, services, training materials, datasets, publications and workflows. The SSH Open Marketplace showcases solutions and research practices for every step of the research data life cycle.

The SSH Open Marketplace, developed during the Horizon 2020 Project SSHOC, is maintained by three ERICS: DARIAH, CLARIN, and CESSDA.. It is a strategic priority for DARIAH, as it is the home for DARIAH’s national contributions. The Marketplace API is used to feed the DARIAH Tools & Services Catalogue. Thus the Marketplace, and the DARIAH Tools & Services Catalogue, can be used to valorize the tools and services offered to the DARIAH Community.

The workshop is conceived as a two part event. It will open with a brief presentation of what the SSH Open Marketplace is and how it works. In the second part the participants will be invited to write and document their tools, services, or even workflows (research scenarios), based on the research methods that they use in their daily practice and to upload them into the Marketplace.

The participants will require laptops or other devices for the practical part of the workshop.
