International projects
SND participates in many international projects. These projects are an important part of SND’s collaboration with other infrastructures and presence in various scientific contexts.
ATRIUM
ATRIUM (Advancing Frontier Research In the Arts and Humanities) is a research project funded by the European Commission. The project was launched in January 2024 for a period of four years. It bridges four European research infrastructures: DARIAH (arts and humanities), ARIADNE (archaeology), CLARIN (languages), and OPERAS (open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities), and involves 29 other organizations across 12 European countries.
An important purpose of ATRIUM is to make the resources available on, for example, the ARIADNE portal better known and utilized by researchers in the arts and humanities, and social sciences. While new tools will be created, existing resources will be further developed and improved. Other objectives for the ATRIUM project are enhanced access to participating research infrastructures, improved metadata quality in existing catalogues and repositories; training resources; and increased use of controlled vocabularies and ontologies for improved interoperability of various systems.
With their Transnational Access (TNA) Scheme, ATRIUM also offers grants to researchers to support training visits to leading Data Management organizations across Europe.
OSTrails
OSTrails (Open Science Plan‑Track‑Assess Pathways) is a three-year project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe framework programme. The project launched on 1 February 2024 and will run until 31 January 2027. It is coordinated by OpenAIRE and is part of the work within EOSC to advance Open Science in Europe.
OSTrails will develop and test solutions for connecting the Planning, Tracking and Assessing phases of research in a Plan-Track-Assess framework. Focus lies on, for example, machine-readable data management plans (maDMPs), interoperable Science Knowledge Graphs (SKGs), and modular FAIR assessment tools to help researchers and support services work more efficiently and in line with the FAIR principles. Methodology and tools are collected in the knowledge hub OSTrails Commons (see the project documentation at docs.ostrails.eu).
SND takes part in OSTrails in a Swedish national pilot, which aims to improve the interoperability between SND’s publication platform DORIS, DMP tools used at Swedish universities, and local and national CRIS systems (SweCRIS). Together with Chalmers University of Technology, the pilot will test an integration with a local instance of Data Stewardship Wizard, allowing researchers to reuse metadata from earlier stages of the research process when they publish their data. The pilot also includes a centralized maDMP index and automated FAIR assessment to trace how improved machine readability impacts the FAIRness level, with links to, for example, SweCRIS, and further visibility through Researchdata.se.
