Beta release
Built for all, shaped by each. Get used to this tagline! This will be the future of research discovery in the EOSC landscape. And it is starting now!
The LUMEN Project is proud to launch the Beta version of the White-Label Platform (WLP). It is a ready-made, open-source and FAIR-compliant discovery platform that any scientific community can adopt and tailor to their needs. By aggregating domain-specific research outputs, such as articles, datasets, and semantic artefacts from public sources, the WLP provides a centralised search hub.
It will be made freely available with an open source license, enriching the EOSC ecosystem with a new, ready-to-use service for diverse scientific communities. It is highly configurable and easy to distribute and install. While the solution is versatile enough to be adopted by any discipline, its first practical implementations within the LUMEN project focus on the Earth System Sciences and the Molecular Dynamics communities.
The WLP evolves the infrastructure of GoTriple.eu, the multilingual discovery platform originally developed for the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) under the EU-funded project TRIPLE. Based on a domain-agnostic core codebase, it shifts away from a “one-size-fits-all” model, empowering research communities to improve the discovery of the resources most relevant to them. All platforms will be “instances” of the core WLP code, including the original GoTriple. This means: one single “core” product with a common set of functionalities, but shaped by each community.
What can we expect from the White-Label Platform?
- Diverse ways of discovering content, including advanced filters and navigation by discipline
- Diverse user services such as registration, profile page, authorship claiming and networking features
- Customisable style and content (header and footer, static contents, aggregation of data, and more)
- Configurable import of research products and projects
- Harmonised, cleaned and standardised metadata
- Automatic language detection and English translation of titles and abstracts
- Cleaned and deduplicated keywords
- Deduplicated content records
- Author recognition and disambiguation
- AI-based assignment of disciplinary categories
- Automatic integration of domain-specific ontologies for annotation
What does the Beta version offer?
The Beta version is being tested on a generic domain with the core functionalities. It establishes the foundational data pipeline and search mechanics and introduces user registration and authentication.
Future releases through December 2026 will introduce more functional improvements and a unified web-based administration for the customisation of the back-end and the front-end.
Can I try it?
We invite you to visit the platform to see the Beta version in action. As an open-source, community-driven initiative, your initial insights are important to refining the software moving forward.
