The discovery platform GOTRIPLE: An EOSC service for social sciences and humanities research

In this paper we present TRIPLE - Transforming Research through Innovative Practices for Linked Interdisciplinary Exploration - an on-going project funded as part of the European Horizon 2020 programme INFRAEOSC-02-2019 "Prototyping new innovative services" (2019-2023). The project's main objective is to develop a multilingual and multicultural discovery solution for the social sciences and humanities (SSH), which will provide a single access point that allows users to explore, find, access and reuse materials such as literature, data, projects and researcher profiles at European scale. The paper first provides an overview of TRIPLE's main goals and impacts. It then describes the methodology adopted for the design and development of the project platform, GOTRIPLE. Finally, it contextualises the project within the European research landscape, and more specifically in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) ecosystem. In the conclusion, some current challenges and open issues are presented.
