Finding Data for Reuse - Showcasing SSH Data Discovery Platforms in the Netherlands

Abstract: Slides of the presentation "Finding Data For Reuse" in the session "Building Blocks for FAIR in SSH" during the ODISSEI Conference 2025 on November 4th. Abstract: The first step to reuse existing data is to become aware of its existence. While there are many great and relevant datasets available in the Netherlands, data discovery can still be challenging, limiting the potential that existing data has. Assessing how the Findability of data in the Dutch Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) community can be improved is hence one of the aspects that the FAIR workstream of the SSHOC-NL project aims to address. In this talk, we would like to showcase the existing data discovery platforms available for researchers in the SSH domain. One of such platforms, the ODISSEI Portal, allows social science researchers to find data from different data providers including survey data, experimental research, and register data available at CBS in one search interface. Similarly, for the humanities, CLARIAH has developed Ineo to provide one entrance to search across available datasets. We present the current features of these data discovery platforms, as well as providing an outlook into steps that the project wants to take to further improve the Findability and discoverability of available data.
