Abstract
Social sciences and humanities (SSH) research is divided across a wide array of disciplines, sub-disciplines and languages. While this specialization makes it possible to investigate the extensive variety of SSH topics, it also leads to a fragmentation that prevents SSH research from reaching its full potential. The TRIPLE project brings answers to these issues by developing an innovative discovery platform for SSH data, researchers’ projects and profiles. Having started in October 2019, the project has already three main achievements that are presented in this paper: (1) the definition of main features of the GOTRIPLE platform; (2) its interoperability; (3) its multilingual, multicultural and interdisciplinary vocation. These results have been achieved thanks to different methodologies such as a co-design process, market analysis and benchmarking, monitoring and co-building. These preliminary results highlight the need for respecting diversity of practices and communities through coordination and harmonization.

Open data are an open window to the world, accessible to the greatest number of users.Retrieving information and knowledge comes with significant challenges when trying to avoid transforming this opportunity into a disorganized and indigestible mass of data through a scattergun approach
The first tasks have already yielded results confirming the need for a new discovery platform dedicated to Social Sciences and Humanities
Described here are the three preliminary results: Result 1: Definition of the main features of the GOTRIPLE platform: It aims at meeting the needs of researchers and other stakeholders by allowing researchers to make their way through millions of documents and bring together members of the scientific community from different fields, countries and communities in research projects to foster collaboration across the frontiers of countries and disciplines and increase the impact of research in societal issues
Summary
Retrieving information and knowledge comes with significant challenges when trying to avoid transforming this opportunity into a disorganized and indigestible mass of data through a scattergun approach. This is why, in parallel with the technological challenges, we are attentive to the needs of users as varied as a scholar or scientist, company director, policy maker, student or a citizen who does research for his or her own pleasure. Information 2020, 11, 563 citizens and business organizations to access scientific publications, data, data processing platforms and data processing services and to benefit from Open Science. The OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) defines Open Science as: “to make the primary outputs of publicly funded research results—publications and the research data—publicly accessible in digital format with no or minimal restriction” [2] (p. 7), and they add another important aspect to the concept:
