D6.4 Report on awareness webinars

The awareness-raising webinars were part of the community engaging activities of task 6.2 Fostering Communities: Engaging New & Existing Users. The goal was to inform the community about the development of SSHOC services and tools, consult with the community members, and showcase practical use cases. Webinars were organised in close cooperation with other work packages within the SSHOC project.

Overall, ten awareness webinars took place:

1. Discussion meeting about requirements of CESSDA Service Providers for a Dataverse repository

2. How to improve the quality of your repository? SSHOC and certification of repositories

3. SSH Open Marketplace: Public Consultation for the DARIAH Community

4. SSHOC Online Information Sessions: Open-Source Vocabulary Hosting and Management

   Platforms - First session: Wikibase

5. SSHOC Online Information Sessions: Open-Source Vocabulary Hosting and Management

   Platforms - Second session: SKOSMOS

6. DARIAH Community Requirements for a Dataverse Repository

7. SSHOC Online Information Sessions: Open-Source Vocabulary Hosting and Management

8. Building trustworthy repositories: Introduction to CoreTrustSeal certification

10. The Multilingual Corpus of Survey Questionnaires

The concise and targeted webinars were an effective tool for communication with specific community groups. In the portfolio of SSHOC awareness-raising events, the webinars are distinguished by their focus on specific subjects and target audiences and were in some instances an introduction for topics that were later explored in workshops or stakeholder events.
