ONTOLISST combines existing social science ontologies with new algorithms to optimise topic assignment in multilingual contexts. It explores how standard background variables, such as gender or age, can be included in non-thematic metadata. The ultimate goal is to create cost-effective discovery tools in multiple EU languages, improving access to and visibility of social science research for a diverse group of users, from expert audiences to policymakers.
