Missions

The TRIPLE Data Steward will be responsible for the implementation and development of operations related to the acquisition, processing, and provision of the data and metadata necessary for the platform. In particular, the Data Steward will contribute to the development of the data model used by TRIPLE, supporting partners in standardizing their metadata, monitoring the harvesting process and establishing guidelines for future users. The TRIPLE platform does not store research data, so the Data Steward will focus on all metadata useful for the discovery and reuse of resources, in particular: persistent identifiers, bibliographic information, subjects, licenses. The Data Steward must therefore be familiar with the main technologies and standards currently used in the academic field, in particular in Social Sciences and Humanities.
These main missions are expected to be extended during the project. In connection with OpenEdition’s involvement in other tasks, they will also focus on data enrichment and the use of controlled vocabularies, the prospects for using the platform in the OPERAS landscape, and will include contributions to technical workshops on the provision and use of TRIPLE enriched data.

Activities

Work Context

OpenEdition is a digital publishing infrastructure for scientific information in the Social Sciences and Humanities.
OpenEdition coordinates with Huma-Num the implementation of the OPERAS Research Infrastructure.
OPERAS currently brings together 40 international institutions from 16 different countries aiming at building a research infrastructure dedicated to open scholarly communication in the Social Sciences and Humanities. The objective of OPERAS is both to coordinate activities and practices in this field and to create new services for the scientific community.
In particular, OPERAS coordinates the H2020 TRIPLE project dedicated to the creation of a discovery service that will be able to reference all types of data in the Social Sciences and Humanities. TRIPLE will be based on the model and technology of the French Isidore platform maintained by Huma-Num but will include additional features. The new platform will also support more languages (9 instead of 3) and will thus index content in most of the languages represented in the consortium.
As part of its participation in Go FAIR, the OPERAS consortium has also set up the CO-OPERAS implementation network for FAIRification of data and publications in Social Sciences and Humanities. CO-OPERAS activities will complement TRIPLE’s developments regarding data interoperability and reuse.
The TRIPLE Data Steward will be part of the International Development Department of OpenEdition in Marseille, and will be co-supervised by the Data Department. He will work in collaboration with OPERAS’ FAIR Data Officer and the OpenEdition Data Service Manager. He will also work closely with the CO-OPERAS Community Manager.
