The project “Linked Open Data for the Humanities and Social Sciences” (LOD4HSS) is supported through a swissuniversities Open Research Data Grant. LOD4HSS strives to bring forward the open Geovistory platform, propagating Open Research Data workflows according to different use-cases (research data analysis & publishing, teaching, interlinking & reusing available data) and in line with the needs of the various domains in the Humanities and Social Sciences. It aims to expand and strengthen the community of data producers and consumers providing easy-to-use tools and means for exchange, based on a clearly defined governance structure closely aligned with academia.
Geovistory supports Open Research Data for Switzerland and the international Humanities & Social Sciences community. We foster an engaged community and document best practices. Consequentially contributing to methodological innovations of research as Open Data and aiming to provide Geovistory as a sustainable platform.

Topics
Digital Literary and Cultural Studies
Digital methods change and expand the access to sources, documents, texts, artifacts and other objects of knowledge and open up new research perspectives in historical, literary and cultural studies.
Implementing Research Projects Digitally
We model text data and multimedia objects, apply our tools and establish procedures, design websites and ensure sustainable research data management.
Networked Research
We rely on scientific cooperation and targeted network building in international research associations.
Open Science
Open Access, Open Source, Open Data as well as other terms represent a research sector with transparent approaches and freely available results.
Research Infrastructures
As is often the case, the key to success is cooperation. Together with our partners, we participate in international, national and regional research infrastructures.
