SoBigData RI PPP
SoBigData Research Infrastructure Preparatory Phase Project
SoBigData Research Infrastructure (RI) is a distributed and multidisciplinary research infrastructure aimed at using social mining, big data, and artificial intelligence to understand the complexity of our contemporary, globally-interconnected society. The SoBigData RI Preparation Phase Project (PPP) is the preparatory phase of the SoBigData RI in the ESFRI RoadMap 2021. The SoBigData RI PPP will advance the RI from simple awareness of ethical and legal challenges in social mining to the development of concrete tools that operationalize ethics with value-sensitive design, incorporating values and standards for privacy protection, fairness, transparency, and pluralism. One of the main goals of the SoBigData RI PPP is to lay the foundation for the long-term sustainability of RI. The goal is to develop a sustainable strategy for integrating data and methods that enables the discovery and utilization of heterogeneous services. These objectives pose several key challenges that must be addressed within the SoBigData RI PPP. Given the multidisciplinary nature of our RI, we need to identify and develop sustainable services, meeting the demand for interdisciplinary data-driven research and innovation. Approaching these challenges is key to using social mining and big data to understand the complexity of research and archiving in our globally interconnected contemporary society from collaborative, interdisciplinary, and transnational perspectives.
