The **Seminar FAIR data infrastructures for the SSH** was organised by the PDI-SSH project “Building a FAIR Expertise Hub for the Social Sciences”and ODISSEI. It took place on Thursday February 13th at Congresgebouw de Vereeniging, Mariaplaats 14, Utrecht, the Netherlands. This OSF page collects all the slides from the day.
In the morning, Angelica Maineri gave an introduction to the day and presented an overview of the insights gathered in the past few years by the FAIR Expertise Hub project alongside some open questions and future plans. In the rest of the morning, three examples from three different subdisciplines from the SSH were presented. First, Otto Lange and Dorien Huijser (UU) from the Consortium Individual Development (CID) presented their efforts in creating a FAIR metadata catalogue of the different cohort studies that are part of the consortium. Second, Rick Mourits (IISH) gave a presentation on the importance of FAIR implementation in the socio-economic history data community to preserve data in the long run and avoiding “dark data”. Finally, Rutger Schilpzand (UU) from FIRMBACKBONE illustrated the steps undertaken in their project to share sensitive data about companies in a FAIR compliant way.
In the afternoon, two workshops took place. In Workshop 1, Lucas van der Meer (ODISSEI) and Ahmad Hesam (SURF) gave an overview of the ODISSEI Infrastructure and then asked participants to fill in one of two canvasses: one to describe the (FAIR) status of their data and metadata, or one to describe data access conditions. In Workshop 2, Angelica Maineri (FAIR Hub and ODISSEI) led a discussion on the definition of semantic resources and their role to help researchers. A summary of the discussion and next steps will be added to this page soon.
Tom Emery (ODISSEI) led a closing discussion at the end of the day.
