Tools and Services
Text+ and the participating institutions offer a wide range of services related to language and text data. In addition to research data, services and tools are an essential part of the Text+ offerings for users.
For the provision and maintenance of this service overview, Text+ uses the SSH Open Marketplace, a discovery platform from the Social Sciences and Humanities Cluster within the EOSC with now over 7,000 individual resources. In the SSH Open Marketplace, researchers can view Text+ offerings in a broad context with resources relevant to them, discover additional information, and thus support their research activities.
The list of offerings mentioned below is subject to constant development and expansion. Feedback and requests can be directed to the Helpdesk with the subject Infrastructure/Operations or left in the corresponding issue in our development environment.

Richtlinien für die Beschreibung von Text+ Diensten im SSH Open Marketplace
This short guideline documents how services affiliated with Text+ may be described in the SSH Open Marketplace.
The approach chosen by Text+ for making services visible therefore relies on:
- SSH Open Marketplace as the actual provisioning and curation site of the descriptive metadata of the services,
- Text+ Registry as the delivering service in the Text+ portal, which harvests the metadata from the SSH Open Marketplace,
- And the Text+ portal itself as the presentation layer on top of the registry.
- Overall, both Marketplace and Registry remain as machine-harvestable sources, with the Marketplace being the authoritative source.
Changelog
- upcoming: differentiation between genuine Text+ offerings and other offerings relevant to the community; addition of funding references in the service descriptions
- July 2024: linking of the guide & description guidelines for Text+ services in the SSH Open Marketplace; addition of filtering by categories and keywords
- June 2024: expansion to 35 entries as well as partial revision of individual descriptions and the introductory text on this page
