Social Sciences & Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC) unites 20 partner organisations and their 27 associates in developing the social sciences and humanities area of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). This 40-months long project is funded by the EU framework programme Horizon 2020 and runs to April 2022. The GGP has contributed to two data innovation products.
GGP collaborated with CLARIN (Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure) and EVS. Together the task members prepared an Audio Module which integrates the collection of Computer Assisted Recorded Interviews (CARI) into a traditional Social Sciences Research Infrastructure (task 4.4). In April 2021 the Audio Module was embedded in the Longitudinal Internet Studies for the Social Sciences (LISS) survey to collect qualitative information about democracy, the European Union, trust and marriage among 771 panellists. The final report including conclusions and recommendations can be found here.
GGP also collaborated with WageIndicator to demonstrate the usefulness of capturing social policy information in an application programming interface (API) by integrating estimates based on OECD Family Database in the Dutch WageIndicator survey (task 4.5). Family and housing benefits, unique for the combination of information that the respondent provided, was presented to the respondent. Respondents were then asked if they thought these estimates were correct. If this was not the case, respondents were invited to provide a correction of the benefits they receive. More information, for instance on the quality of the estimates, can be found in this report.
