This deliverable pertains to SSHOC Task 3.1 which was responsible for investigating and providing resources and tools to support the multilingual aspects of the future pan-EU SSH infrastructure. Making data and services accessible and usable in SSH is very much also a matter of providing relevant translations, translation of metadata concepts, multilingual vocabularies, terminology extraction across languages, multilingual databases. The deliverable offers a detailed report on the gathering and translation of relevant SSH metadata, ontologies and vocabularies for the use-cases indicated in the task’s topics: multilingual metadata concepts and vocabularies, the multilingual occupation ontology, with cross-country female occupational titles. In accordance with SSHOC and the EOSC FAIR recommendations and requirements, the metadata vocabularies and ontologies have been published via several different formats and facilities. Section 1. The introduction sets the landscape and describes the need of multilingual vocabularies both for classification and discovery in the context of a cloud-based infrastructure that will offer access to research data and related services adapted to the needs of the SSH community. Section 2. “Multilingual metadata” investigates the possibility to use and test Natural Language Processing (NLP) approaches and Machine Translation (MT) to make the metadata more accessible using national languages other than English. A selected case study was the recommended metadata set of the CLARIN Concept Registry (CCR): the whole set of metadata and definitions were translated into French, Greek, and Italian. The section describes the machine-translation and evaluation process, also comparing different technologies. Section 3. “Multilingual vocabularies and ontologies” introduces two other typical case-studies. The first one addresses one of the pressing needs in social sciences research. Many surveys, indeed, ask respondents to specify their occupation and the occupational ontology is used for the survey questions. For many languages the occupational titles for males and females are not identical. In section 3.1 the enrichment of the occupational ontology with lists for male and female titles, is described for many languages, namely for Dutch, German, Slovenian and French. The second case study focuses on the automatic extraction of terminology from texts: a list of domain- specific terms was automatically extracted from a corpus of Data Curation and Stewardship, validated by domain experts, automatically translated into multiple languages (Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Slovenian) and linked to other existing terminologies. Section 4. describes the SKOS-ification and publication process of the results, together with the challenges posed by multilinguality. Section 5. offers an overview of the exploitation and sustainability of the results and how these are made available to the community. Finally the Conclusions provide some reflections on Machine Translation approaches adopted for translating the vocabularies into multiple languages, the advantages in terms of time saving and some first recommendations to the community.

It is important to understand the general framework of use for a vocabulary publication platform for the SSHOC project. In SSHOC, it is crucial to support better discovery of SSH research data in order to ensure better access and reusability. This will be made possible through support for multilinguality. In infrastructures, metadata aggregation platforms are provided that map metadata to a shared common ontology usually in English. A vocabulary server and publication platform will be provided in SSHOC to maximize the accessibility and to improve discovery of content by non-native speakers, thus allowing multilinguality. To achieve this, this Milestone reports on: (a) a survey of existing systems for managing (editing and publishing) and accessing (browsing) vocabularies used to describe and allow discovery of research data in SSH infrastructures; the systems are described based on relevant features: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MV2g1PZMQ_Rx8m8tybthOY9eMuFNpdJ xUCfvu-jxuLI/edit#gid=0 (b) a series of interviews with experts to identify the core features of vocabularies and vocabulary platforms and what was missing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FSDlEPBfYdRU6TQgPXoWofpibkAGGv3Yz ZrMy0FBsIo/edit#gid=0 The two documents1 have been cross-compared to extract a list of relevant criteria and characteristics that the SSHOC publishing platform should have to support the editing, linking and publishing of the vocabularies. In addition, the following technical criteria have been identified and compared, such as the installation requirements, availability of an API and source code, implementation of Linked Data, and license type. The feature comparison table is available at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s5_StggMB1AburKRG4U6kK6oj5Dsc4weaGtXw0w1YN A/edit#gid=02 The support documents (1. survey of existing systems – 2. series of interviews with experts – 3. set of criteria for comparison) are also provided in the Appendices to this report. Note that in version 1. 2 of this document, new information was added wrt. the current situation (Q1 2021) for the use of vocabulary platforms in the CLARIN infrastructure and the results of the CLARIN Vocabulary initiative actions, which were added as chapter 4 and appendices. New information in the existing chapters was added in Italics.

Oral sources are extremely fragile, but valuable research objects that are worth preserving. However, this often proves much more demanding than preserving other historical sources, such as artefacts or written documents, since their preservation relies on specialised infrastructure. To inform the oral history scientific community of developments and available resources that can support oral history researchers in their work,SSHOCandCLARIN ERICrecently teamed up to deliver a webinar, titled “How Not to Spill Coffee on Your Tapes. Best Practices for Preserving Oral Archives”, under the framework ofCLARIN Cafés. The talk features two presentations: ·Presentation: Two ethnomusicological collections in French museums and theMichel Seuratsound archives cataloguerecorded in Lebanon and Syria in the 1980s- as reported in recent issues ofSonorités, the open access journal of the French Association of Sound, Oral and Audiovisual archives (AFAS) -Véronique GinouvèsCLARIN-FR ·Presentation: The ItalianVademecum, a two-year collaborative enterpriseto offer Italian scientific communities and non-academic stakeholders an online oral preservation catalogue designed as a guide to preserving and archiving oral resources for potential enhancement and re-use-Silvia CalamaiUniversity of Siena,CLARIN-IT

In this paper we present TRIPLE - Transforming Research through Innovative Practices for Linked Interdisciplinary Exploration - an on-going project funded as part of the European Horizon 2020 programme INFRAEOSC-02-2019 "Prototyping new innovative services" (2019-2023). The project's main objective is to develop a multilingual and multicultural discovery solution for the social sciences and humanities (SSH), which will provide a single access point that allows users to explore, find, access and reuse materials such as literature, data, projects and researcher profiles at European scale. The paper first provides an overview of TRIPLE's main goals and impacts. It then describes the methodology adopted for the design and development of the project platform, GOTRIPLE. Finally, it contextualises the project within the European research landscape, and more specifically in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) ecosystem. In the conclusion, some current challenges and open issues are presented.

SSHOC Considerations for the Vocabulary Platforms - Presentation of the MS08 results: Choice of Vocabulary publication platforms for SSHOC -Monica Monachini fromCLARIN - IT National Coordinator and SSHOC WP3

Audio and audiovisual archives are at the crossroads of different fields of knowledge, yet they require common solutions for both their long-term preservation and their description, availability, use and reuse. Archivio Vi.Vo. is an Italian project financed by the Region of Tuscany, aiming to: (i) explore methods for long-term preservation and secure access to oral sources, and (ii) develop an infrastructure under the CLARIN-IT umbrella offering several services for scholars from different domains interested in oral sources. This paper describes the project’s infrastructure and its methodology through a case study on Caterina Bueno’s audio archive.

Aligning senses across resources and languages is a challenging task with beneficial applications in the field of natural language processing and electronic lexicography. In this paper, we describe our efforts in manually aligning monolingual dictionaries. The alignment is carried out at sense-level for various resources in 15 languages. Moreover, senses are annotated with possible semantic relationships such as broadness, narrowness, relatedness, and equivalence. In comparison to previous datasets for this task, this dataset covers a wide range of languages and resources and focuses on the more challenging task of linking general-purpose language. We believe that our data will pave the way for further advances in alignment and evaluation of word senses by creating new solutions, particularly those notoriously requiring data such as neural networks. Our resources are publicly available at https://github.com/elexis-eu/MWSA.

TRIPLE - Transforming Research Through Innovative Practices for Linked Interdisciplinary Exploration is a EU funded project under the INFRAEOSC-02-2019 - Prototyping new innovative services topic, which started in October 2019 and will end in March 2023. Its main objective is to design and develop a discovery platform for SSH, called GOTRIPLE. This deliverable is the main outcome of Task 6.1 which started at M4 at ends at M36, whose aim is to deal with the definition and the set-up of general TRIPLE's interoperability requirements, considering all the components which are composing the TRIPLE ecosystem (data, resources and tools). As preliminary results, we thus present here a general overview of the main EOSC interoperability requirements and specifications, both coming from a mapping of the EOSC Working Groups outputs, and of the most relevant results of EOSC related projects related to TRIPLE. We also attempt to provide TRIPLE's answers, proposals and solutions to the above mentioned requirements. The final picture presents different levels of precision, which depends on the fluidity of the EOSC definition on the one hand, and on the consequent fact that some implications are still unclear, and a discussion on the measures to address EOSC requirements is still on-going. While tackling interoperability, we introduce TRIPLE in its context in order to locate the GOTRIPLE platform in the EOSC frame, and more specifically in the SSH cluster of the EOSC (section 1). Section 2 defines the general interoperability requirements, starting with the software (2.2) and then presents an analysis of the main outputs released by the EOSC Working groups (2.3), taking into consideration as a general reference, the EOSC Interoperability Framework, and, more specifically, the FAIR and Architecture WGs documents (2.3.2, 2.3.4). These are the main guiding references for the design and realization of the EOSC, considering specifically interoperability. Section 2.3.3 illustrates how TRIPLE is translating into practice the FAIR requirements, while section 2.3.5 is focused on TRIPLE current decisions regarding the integration of the TRIPLE solution into the EOSC. To present an enriched scenario, the section includes as well a brief overview of other relevant outputs released by the EOSC WGs (Landscape, RoP, Sustainability and Skills and Training) (2.3.6). With the aim to provide a comprehensive analysis of the EOSC interoperability requirements, the WP6 partners have analyzed relevant deliverables produced by the main EOSC related projects as preparatory activity. The analysis was useful to understand the EOSC environment and its evolution in terms of interoperability and at the same time to understand which external deliverables have to be taken into consideration for the overall project development in TRIPLE. Section 3 includes a synthesis of this work, which is fully presented in Annex I. Section 4 - Conclusions and Outlook, outlines TRIPLE's the next steps to achieve interoperability and the strategies that will be adopted.
