Our online series "Meet the Experts" starts the new year with a new season on "Knowledge technologies for the Social Science: Access to Social Science Data and Services"!
We start by investigating social scientists' information-seeking behavior and data needs, which form the basis for suitable search infrastructures and knowledge graphs to make social science data and information findable, accessible, and reusable. Building on this, we show what opportunities and challenges emerge from the adoption of technological advances in the social sciences, such as large language models and novel data sources mined from the Web.
We will conclude with a presentation on the automatic extraction of scientific information from scholarly texts, which helps to improve search and understanding of research information and their dependencies.
