D3.1 Catalogue of Next-Gen SSH Instruments and Tools | Zenodo
This deliverable presents D3.1 – Catalogue of Next-Generation SSH Instruments and Tools, developed within Task 3.1 of the GRAPHIA project. The deliverable documents a set of advanced hardware and software tools contributed by project partners and relevant to the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) data lifecycle, from acquisition and processing to enrichment, interpretation, and publication. The instruments and tools described in this catalogue support the generation and management of multimodal data and contribute to the broader GRAPHIA objective of enabling semantically enriched, interoperable, and graph-ready SSH data (i.e. structured and mapped to support ingestion into the GRAPHIA SSH Knowledge Graph). Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the Agency.
