VisConnect: Discovering Interdisciplinary Researchers with AI-Powered Visualisations

VisConnect is a collaboration with the IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria that aims to transform the research assessment process. Harnessing Open Knowledge Maps' AI-driven visual discovery techniques, VisConnect will allow IT:U to better identify outstanding interdisciplinary researchers from a global field. By providing a comprehensive overview and incorporating diverse research outputs, VisConnect will support institutions in adopting assessment practices in line with initiatives such as DORA and CoARA.

enKORE: Towards an open, zoomable atlas for invasion science and beyond

Biological invasions are on the rise, and their global impacts on ecosystems, economies and human health are a major challenge. Invasion science is critical to mitigate invader impacts, yet due to the strong increase of data and information in this area, it has become difficult to acquire and maintain an overview of the field. To address this challenge, we develop an interactive atlas of invasion science in collaboration with Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) and FU Berlin.

Triple EU project funded under the Horizon 2020 framework Triple EU project funded under the Horizon 2020 framework

GoTriple: The multilingual discovery platform for the social sciences and humanities.

TRIPLE is a EU project funded under the Horizon 2020 framework. TRIPLE's goal is to create a comprehensive free and open discovery solution for the social sciences and humanities (SSH). Under the lead of Huma-Num (CNRS), a consortium of 18 partners from 12 countries will develop GoTriple as a core service of OPERAS and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

Ideenbox project in collaboration with the Open Innovation in Science Center of the Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft Ideenbox project in collaboration with the Open Innovation in Science Center of the Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft

Ideenbox Visualization

In this crowd-sourcing project called Ideenbox (in English: Ideas Box), LBG Open Innovation in Science Center (OIS Center) collects unsolved health issues from citizens based in Austria. Open Knowledge Maps will provide a visualization of all collected research questions. The knowledge map will be made publicly available and it will periodically be updated to show the latest crowd-sourcing results.

Open Knowledge Maps Frontend Refactoring

With eLife's backing, we are performing a necessary refactoring of the Open Knowledge Maps frontend. The refactoring improves the serviceability, reusability and structure of our frontend. The aim is to make it easier to introduce new functionality crucial to fulfilling important use cases, such as integrating Open Knowledge Maps into user workflows, enabling future integrations (e.g. of dataset indices), and reaching our goal of a collaborative discovery environment.

CoVis: A curated, collaborative & visual knowledge base for COVID-19 research

CoVis is an ongoing project in collaboration with ReFigure funded by EOSCSecretariat. CoVis enables scientists to kick-start their COVID-19 research by providing a curated knowledge map of seminal works on COVID-19 from eight critical areas of biomedical research. The knowledge map is constantly evolving thanks to the collective editing of subject-matter experts.

LinkedCat+: Explore half a century of knowledge production at the Academy

LinkedCat+ is an ongoing project funded by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) to make the early proceedings of the OeAW accessible, discoverable and reusable. LinkedCat+ will provide open access fulltexts and bibliographic catalogue data as linked open data, and allow for visual exploration of this data.
