## Summary
This paper describes how CLARIN-IT, the Italian node of CLARIN, helped build H2IOSC. H2IOSC is a national federated cluster that unites four Italian Social Sciences and Humanities research infrastructures: CLARIN-IT, DARIAH-IT, E-RIHS-IT and OPERAS.it. It is funded through the EU NextGenerationEU recovery plan (NRRP). The goal is to apply FAIR and Open Science principles to linguistic and cultural data in practice, and to connect the result with EOSC and other European services.

CLARIN-IT's contribution has several parts:
- CMDI metadata is mapped onto CIDOC CRM and SSHOCro, so that resources are described consistently across infrastructures.
- A FAIRification Tool built on F-UJI checks and improves the FAIRness of resources.
- Services are refactored and published through a federated API gateway.
- A Linguistic Linked Open Data pilot handles RDF datasets.
- A training platform and a repository support FAIR-by-design learning materials.
- A permanent observatory tracks community practices and needs.

The paper presents the outcome as a coherent national model, comparable to HumaNum, Text+ and SSHOC-CH. It shows how infrastructure clustering can avoid duplicated effort and make SSH data easier to reuse.

## Key points
- **Metadata mapping.** CMDI and CLARIN Concept Registry metadata are mapped to CIDOC CRM classes, such as E73 Information Object, E21 Person and E65 Creation. They are also mapped to SSHOCro classes:
  - SHE1 Dataset, with subclasses such as ParallelCorpus and LexicalResource;
  - LinguisticTool subclasses for services offered via the Language Resource Switchboard.
- **Case study.** The Musisque Deoque (MQDQ) corpus was used to demonstrate the mapping. Its metadata were linked to external authority files such as ORCID and VIAF.
- **FAIRification Tool.** It extends F-UJI and the FAIRsFAIR metrics with checks specific to the humanities and language resources. It produces interactive reports on metadata completeness, licensing, persistent identifiers and semantic interoperability.
- **Service publication.** Services are exposed through a WSO2-based API Gateway with OpenAPI manifests, which provide machine-readable documentation and support versioning and policy enforcement. Services are also being aligned with the H2IOSC catalogue and its federated AAI.
- **Training and further resources.** Training materials are hosted in the H2IOSC Training Library; one example is a course on managing oral data. The paper's resource list also includes the Pan-Latin Lexicon of Collars and Sleeves and MADIN-TERM, both held in the ILC-CNR CLARIN-IT repository.
