Effective communication is crucial for the success of academic projects, especially within multidisciplinary teams where researchers come from different backgrounds not only on personal and/or cultural level but also from different disciplines. This can lead to misunderstandings which might not be even obvious in meetings and project plans if the same terms might be used for different concepts. Team members implicitly assume that all parties work with the same definition of terms. The project VisDict addresses the communication between workflow providers and domain researchers via the creation of a visual dictionary in a science gateway so that differences in the perception of terms are easily recognized and can be timely resolved. Dictionaries are used as translation tools between natural languages – the approach for translating from computational science to research domains such as physics and biology is novel. In this paper, we go into detail for our approach to build a dictionary in a science gateway, the lessons learned from carefully curating the first entries, and plans for automating its extension to a large set of relevant terms including their illustrations.

Researchers and educators in humanities such as computational linguists, digital humanists, and those doing historical reconstructions are increasingly heavy users of computational and/or data resources. Many know about activities, working groups, and initiatives around the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles and are a driving force for improving the situation for sharing data and software. However, it seems humanities researchers are less aware of the science gateways community and the end-to-end solutions that science gateways could provide, therefore lacking a driving force for adoption of this technology. Some may be creating their own gateways outside the community; others may wish to use computational and data infrastructures, but may perceive a lack of support or opportunities. Hypotheses about the reasons that humanities are not well represented as gateways builders and users include lack of funding and support by computer centers. This study will clarify some of the challenges and needs faced by computational researchers in the humanities that may explain their relatively low participation in the science gateways community. For this paper, we present the results of two interviews as proof of concept for the study. We plan to follow with 12-15 additional interviews for the larger study.

Please add success stories and lessons learned about developing service partnerships across campus for using the OSF. E.g. Conversations about IRB requirements and OSF options. Rolling out OSF for Institutions on your campus. Office of Research conversations about research support including compliance and beyond.
