Abstract
Over 2.5 million scientific articles are published annually, totaling 6,849.32 per day in 2015; in 2018 this value was increased to over 3 million articles, totaling 8.219,18 per day [1]. Thus, finding the most relevant Research Outputs (ROs), such as articles, theses, patents, among others, is increasingly difficult due, in part, to the existing interfaces returning massive lists of results. The project aims to develop and test a platform that incorporates social data for capturing various usage metrics to define a new metric that we call Social Scholarly Experience Metrics (SSEM) and a new visualization technique that, jointly, will support the fast access to find relevant ROs.

Abstract
This report is framed in a research in progress project that has as goal the development of a method for the development of Dublin Core Application Pro les (Me4DCAP). The development of the rst version of Me4DCAP has been published. This paper describes in detail Me4DCAP V0.1, showing the sources used to justify its design. Me4DCAP was based in a Design Science Research methodological approach. It has as starting point the Singapore framework for Dublin Core Application Pro les (DCAP) and the Rational Uni ed Process; and integrates also knowledge from: (i) software development processes and techniques, focusing on the early stages of the processes that deal with data modeling; and from (ii) the practices of the metadata community concerning DCAP development. Me4DCAP establishes the way through the DCAP development. It establishes when activities must take place, how they interconnect, and which deliverables they will bring about; it also suggests which techniques should be used to build these deliverables.

Abstract
A Web Semântica (WS) é um paradigma da Web que surgiu com o intuito de ligar dados, permitindo a partilha de conteúdos para além das fronteiras das aplicações e dos sítios Web. Neste contexto, um perfil de aplicação de metadados (PA) é um constructo genérico para desenhar registos de metadados que satisfazem necessidades específicas das aplicações, proporcionando interoperabilidade semântica com outras aplicações. Esse desenho dos registos de metadados tem como base vocabulários e modelos definidos globalmente pela comunidade de metadados. A Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, provavelmente a mais conhecida e mais importante iniciativa a nível mundial no que diz respeito a metadados, definiu um modelo abstracto (Dublin Core Abstract Model) onde um dos constructos é o Dublin Core Aplication Profile (DCAP). A DCMI refere que a utilização de um DCAP é essencial para implementar interoperabilidade no contexto da WS. A concepção, o desenvolvimento e a implementação de modelos, sendo um processo complexo, necessitam de um suporte metodológico; um DCAP não foge a essa regra. Por essa razão, realizámos o estudo do estado da arte dos métodos para o desenvolvimento de PA, com o sentido de fazer o levantamento das práticas da comunidade de metadados no desenvolvimento de PA. Este estudo revelou que até à data não existe nenhum método para o desenvolvimento de um PA ou DCAP. O objectivo deste projecto de doutoramento foi o de fornecer um primeiro contributo para um tal método. A concepção do Method for the develoment of DCAP (Me4DCAP) teve como suporte: (i) as primeiras fases (até à modelação de dados) dos métodos de desenvolvimento de software; (ii) os resultados de entrevistas realizadas a desenvolvedores DCAP; (iii) as práticas identificadas no estudo já referido do estado da arte dos métodos para desenvolvimento de PA. O Me4DCAP tem como base o Singapore Framework for DCAP, e como ponto de partida o Rational Unified Process, um dos mais conhecidos e utilizados processos de desenvolvimento de software. Para realizar o nosso trabalho utilizámos a metodologia de investigação Design Science Research (DSR), no enquadramento particular para a área dos Sistemas de Informação dos três ciclos de Hevner (2007). Este enquadramento define a possibilidade da utilização de uma situação real, a que Hevner chama de “situação experimental”, para a execução de ciclos de construção-avaliação, onde o artefacto em construção - no nosso caso o Me4DCAP - vai sendo avaliado na situação experimental e redefinido, num processo iterativo. A situação experimental por nós utilizada foi o desenvolvimento de um DCAP para os Sistemas de Informação Web da comunidade mundial de Economia Social e Solidária (ESS). Esse desenvolvimento foi realizado conjuntamente com um grupo que saiu do seio da comunidade da ESS mundial. Este trabalho, identificado como uma oportunidade, resultou num DCAP-ESS. O Me4DCAP foi validado através de um grupo de discussão integrado numa conferência da especialidade, e ainda através de um Focus Group com sete especialistas mundiais de metadados. Como resultados deste doutoramento obtivemos o Me4DCAP V1.0 e o DCAP-ESS V 1.0.;The Semantic Web (SW) is a Web paradigm that emerged with the aim of linking data, enabling content share beyond the borders of Web applications and Web sites. In this context, a metadata application profile (AP) is a generic construct to design metadata records that satisfy specific needs of the applications, enabling semantic interoperability with other applications. This metadata record design is based on vocabularies and models globally defined by the metadata community. The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI), probably the best known and most important global initiative with regard to metadata, defined an abstract model (Dublin Core Abstract Model) where one of its constructs is the Dublin Core Application Profile (DCAP). DCMI states that the use of a DCAP is very important in order to implement interoperability in the context of the SW. The conception, development and implementation of models need a methodological support since they are complex processes. Therefore, in order to understand the metadata community practices in the development of AP, we performed the study of the state of the art of the methods for the development of AP. This study revealed that until now there is no method for the development of an AP. The goal of this PhD project was to develop a first approach to such a method. The design of the Method for the development of DCAP (Me4DCAP) had as support: (i) the first stages (up to the data modeling) of software development; (ii) the results of interviews conducted to DCAP developers, (iii) the practices identified in the state of the art of the methods for AP development. Me4DCAP is based on the Singapore Framework for DCAP, and has as starting point the Rational Unified Process, one of the best known and most used software development processes. We used the research methodology Design Science Research (DSR) in our work, and the “three cycles” Information Systems specific framework defined by Hevner (2007). This framework defines the possibility of using a real situation, called by Hevner (2007) as the “experimental situation”, for the execution of the construction-evaluation cycles. In these cycles the artifact in development – in our case Me4DCAP – is being evaluated in the experimental situation, and with the feedbacks from this evaluation, it is redefined, in an iterative process. The experimental situation we used was the development of a DCAP for the Web based information systems of the Social Solidarity Economy (SSE) world community (DCAP-SSE). The DCAP-SSE development was jointly undertaken with a group from the world SSE community. This work, identified as an opportunity, resulted in a DCAP-SSE V1.0. The Me4DCAP was validated through a discussion group integrated in a metadata community international conference, and in a Focus Group with seven metadata world experts. This PhD has as results the Me4DCAP V1.0 and the DCAP-SSE V 1.0.

Abstract
POSTDATA is a 5 year's European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant Project that started in May 2016 and is hosted by the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), Madrid, Spain. The context of the project is the corpora of European Poetry (EP), with a special focus on poetic materials from different languages and literary traditions. POSTDATA aims to offer a standardized model in the philological field and a metadata application profile (MAP) for EP in order to build a common classification of all these poetic materials. The information of Spanish, Italian and French repertoires will be published in the Linked Open Data (LOD) ecosystem. Later we expect to extend the model to include additional corpora. There are a number of Web Based Information Systems in Europe with repertoires of poems available to human consumption but not in an appropriate condition to be accessible and reusable by the Semantic Web. These systems are not interoperable; they are in fact locked in their databases and proprietary software, not suitable to be linked in the Semantic Web. A way to make this data interoperable is to develop a MAP in order to be able to publish this data available in the LOD ecosystem, and also to publish new data that will be created and modeled based on this MAP. To create a common data model for EP is not simple since the existent data models are based on conceptualizations and terminology belonging to their own poetical traditions and each tradition has developed an idiosyncratic analytical terminology in a different and independent way for years. The result of this uncoordinated evolution is a set of varied terminologies to explain analogous metrical phenomena through the different poetic systems whose correspondences have been hardly studied – see examples in González-Blanco & Rodríguez (2014a and b). This work has to be done by domain experts before the modeling actually starts. On the other hand, the development of a MAP is a complex task though it is imperative to follow a method for this development. The last years Curado Malta & Baptista (2012, 2013a, 2013b) have been studying the development of MAP's in a Design Science Research (DSR) methodological process in order to define a method for the development of MAPs (see Curado Malta (2014)). The output of this DSR process was a first version of a method for the development of Metadata Application Profiles (Me4MAP) (paper to be published). The DSR process is now in the validation phase of the Relevance Cycle to validate Me4MAP. The development of this MAP for poetry will follow the guidelines of Me4MAP and this development will be used to do the validation of Me4MAP. The final goal of the POSTDATA project is: i) to be able to publish all the data locked in the WIS, in LOD, where any agent interested will be able to build applications over the data in order to serve final users; ii) to build a Web platform where: a) researchers, students and other final users interested in EP will be able to access poems (and their analyses) of all databases; b) researchers, students and other final users will be able to upload poems, the digitalized images of manuscripts, and fill in the information concerning the analysis of the poem, collaboratively contributing to a LOD dataset of poetry.

Abstract
EMPOWER SSE is a Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT, Portugal) and Department of Science & Technology (DST, India), financed research project that aims to use the Linked Open Data Framework to empower the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) Agents. It is a collaborative project between India and Portugal that is focused on defining a Semantic Web framework to consolidate players of the informal sector, enabling a paradigm shift. The Indian economy can be categorized into two sectors: formal and informal. The informal sector economy differs from the formal as it is an unorganized sector and comprised of economic activities that are not covered by formal arrangements such as taxation, labor protections, minimum wage regulations, unemployment benefits, or documentation. The major economy in India depends on the skilled labor of this informal sector such e.g. daily labor, farmers, electricians, food production, and small-scale industries (Kalyani, 2016). The informal sector is mainly made of skilled people that follow their family job traditions, sometimes they are not even formally trained. This sector struggles with the lack of information, data sharing needs and interoperability issues across systems and organizational boundaries. In fact, this sector does not have any visibility to the society not having the possibility to do business as most of the agents of this sector do not reach the end of the chain. This blocks them from getting proper exposure and a better livelihood.
