VAriable Detection, Interlinking and Summarization (VADIS)

Within this project, we analyze research papers in the social sciences and identify links to variables in surveys they are based on. We use natural language processing and natural language generation to create summaries of the literature to improve access to current research.


Linked Open Citation Database

The LOC-DB project will develop ready-to-use tools and processes based on the linked-data-technology that make it possible for a single library to meaningfully contribute to an open, distributed infrastructure for cataloguing of citations.


Funding: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)
Duration: 2016 - 2018

InFoLiS II - Integration of research data and literature in the Social Sciences

The InFoLiS follow-up project focuses on the identification of references to research data in publications in different languages and domains. To generate and provide the references, a sustainable LOD-infrastructure will be built.


Funding: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)
