Remit of WP9
Identify practical obstacles that may hamper end-users and
content-producers in user communities to make optimal use of
SSHOC/EOSC
Explicit focus on needs of researchers as members of user
communities, recognising that such membership is mostly informal
(assigned by third parties), and that user communities are vaguely
demarcated

Focus on three user communities - 1
Ethnic and Migration Studies
Led by Laura Morales (Sciences Po, Paris)
Emphases on:
Compilation of Database of relevant quantitative surveys across Europe (COST
Action network)
Consolidate database compliant with FAIR principles
Include surveys in European Question Bank (with WP3)
Developing and Evaluating procedures for automated retrieval documents, connected
with EQB and metadata, and procedures for data producers to update EQB
autonomously

Electoral Studies
Led by Cees van der Eijk (University of Nottingham)
Emphases on:
(With SWC, CESSDA/AUSSDA) Production of an Open Research Knowledge Graph
of studies on citizens’ electoral behaviour. There is a huge amount of (open) data
resources from national election studies; comparative election studies (e.g., EES); ad
hoc, regional and local election studies; post-harmonised data (e.g., European Voter;
TEV), etc.
Connect existing data to this knowledge graph, and develop procedures for doing so
autonomously for new data producers
Develop election studies analytics dashboard for analytics, visualisations and
(through an API) query and extract data for use in statpacks

Heritage Science and Humanities
Led by Emiliano Degl’Innocenti (CNR, Italy)
Emphases on:
(with links to WP3, WP5, WP6 and WP7) Examining how existing and future research
in Heritage Science can use, contribute to and be integrated in EOSC
How will this can be represented by existing research groups and whether additional
domains may be required

6. This project is funded from the EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (2014-2020) under Grant Agreement No. 823782
Shared emphases and links to other WPs
Shared emphases between the three components of WP9 include:
Close interaction with active researchers in the respective fields
Identifying challenges for active researchers in these communities
Evaluating evolving tools and procedures in SSHOC from user-
perspectives, including from users in other communities than those
that gave rise to these developments
(with WP6) focus on community-development and training
