We are happy to announce a new prototype version of the ODISSEI Portal. The Portal now allows you to search for CBS metadata records available in Dutch by using English search terms. The Portal also includes metadata from HSN, the Historical Sample of the Netherlands. Around 7,500 datasets are now findable through the Portal.
The collaboration between ODISSEI and CLARIAH and fifteen national partners has been awarded a Dutch Research Council (NWO) Large-scale Research Infrastructure Grant of €15.2 million.
We are proud to announce a new prototype version of the ODISSEI Portal which now includes metadata from social science datasets published by Dutch research institutes through DataverseNL. Improvements include: more reliable data citations, improved ingestion pipeline, and provenance information.
FAIRsharing works to make FAIR resources (developed by the research community) available to researchers and research data practitioners from a single interface. The aim of this blogpost is to describe the purpose and structure of FAIRsharing. We think this resource might be very useful for social scientists, for instance when writing their Data Management Plan (DMP).
The ODISSEI SoDa team helps researchers develop tools for their research. Social psychologist Eftychia Stamkou approached them to discuss if and how it would be possible to develop a model that can distinguish conformist and non-conformist gender expressions in art.
Persistent Identifiers or PIDs allow us to uniquely identify digital research resources like publications and datasets, ensuring the resources remain accessible over time. This blog post takes you through the concept of PIDs, and how PIDs help make our research FAIR. The post also explains the different kinds of PIDs that currently exist for publications, datasets, people, organisations and grants.
On Tuesday 29th of november the FAIR Data Day will take place in Utrecht. The topic of the day will be “Reusing data to advance science”. In light of this topic, the ODISSEI portal team will present a session on “Harmonising Access Procedures for Sensitive Data”.
On 1 September, the National Open Science Festival took place at the VU Amsterdam. Hundreds of people involved in the development and implementation of Open Science research practices gathered to exchange ideas, knowledge and best practices. ODISSEI was represented in various parts of the programme.
From 20 June to 1 July, the first SICSS-ODISSEI summer school successfully took place in Rotterdam. In the first week, the programme included lectures and interactive work sessions to familiarise about 20 participants with key issues and challenges in computational social sciences.
On Thursday 13 October between 12-13 hrs, Mark Verhagen (University of Oxford) will give an online Lunch Lecture on his use of Dutch administrative data at Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and machine learning to study the effects of decentralization of government tasks.
