Knowledge as a collective enterprise: Technology for orchestration of complex cultural models in DH

The paper focuses on some characteristics of research infrastructures (RIs) for the humanities and cultural heritage (SSH) that facilitate open science, discussing how technology is increasingly becoming an integral part of the processes of collaborative knowledge construction. In the first part, we briefly review the perspectives of federated RIs, focusing on marketplaces as dynamic and functional connection points between different cloud networks and other network infrastructures. The second part describes the technological substrate to support the development of a federated research infrastructure and the technical 'nodes', namely the APIs orchestration for application workflows in DH as developed for the H2IOSC MarketPlace. In the third and final part, we will summarize the main points emerging from the API's orchestration, tracing them back to the main objectives of the Italian node of the RI OPERAS (OPen Scholarly Communication in the European Research Area for Social Sciences and Humanities) in the context of the H2IOSC project.
