Description
Open Science means more than mere Open Access, and Open Access does not mean just journals. Books are the way Social Sciences and Humanities communicate, but they still are peripheral in the Open Science environment. In our vision, developing Open Science goes beyond just releasing millions of Open Access documents in silos: it means creating bridges among countries and disciplines by building an integrated trusted knowledge system.
HIRMEOS is based upon 5 Open Access books publishing platforms globally giving access to more than 7000 books. In order to transform collections of passive documents into rich and interlinked content, HIRMEOS will implement innovative services based on identification common standards, entities recognition, annotation and altmetrics.
HIRMEOS and its related project, OPERAS-D, are part of a wider infrastructure project, OPERAS, aimed at integrating Social Science and Humanities within the European Open Science Cloud.
The poster will give facts and figures about:
- the involved platforms and their catalogues,
- the types of services to be implemented and the used standards,
- the expected benefit for the Social Sciences and Humanities players,
- the global benefits for the Open Science environment.
