Research support with integrated software

Processing digital content, data and information plays an ever greater role in the work of academic, higher-education and research-institute libraries. Besides record-keeping and content services, the Qulto Platform supports the whole research process — from ingesting documents to semantic processing.

DH-LAB & Qulto RI — AI-based heritage processing

In cooperation with the Digital Heritage National Laboratory — opens in a new tab, Qulto has built a hardware and software infrastructure that makes it possible to process, research and publish the national cultural heritage with artificial intelligence, using language-processing applications optimised for Hungarian.

In 2021 the DH-LAB–Qulto RI software architecture received the Emerging Research Infrastructure (Emerging RI) status from the National Research, Development and Innovation Office.

Research support with integrated software

What is Qulto RI?

Qulto and its experts have worked with Hungarian and European scientific communities for more than 25 years. In that time five Hungarian research universities and many other research sites have become our partners, and we have provided infrastructure and professional support in numerous international R&D projects funded directly by the European Union.

In 2018 we began organising the legacy components that had developed by then into a unified research infrastructure (Qulto Research Infrastructure, QRI), into which we integrated the relevant results of our R&D projects and our own developments. The services of Qulto RI are modular — so they can be used in any combination you need — and are integrated, or can be integrated, with the components of DH-LAB.

Student / researcher dashboard

A personalised University Knowledge Base

The Dashboard is the student’s or researcher’s own personalised view of the University Knowledge Base, reached by logging in to the Discovery interface. The Knowledge Base connects the identifiers used in the various scientific spaces (MTMT ID, ORCID, Scopus ID, Google Scholar ID), so a logged-in user’s own content can be presented immediately.

Tied to the ontologies and thesauri built into the Knowledge Base, the preference of the result lists can be ordered by the user’s own interests, and notifications about new publications can be set. Based on the student’s activity, artificial intelligence methods can also provide resource or even course recommendations from the Knowledge Base and the linked external systems.

Teachers can compile reading lists, and students can also generate such lists from given keywords and earlier usage data.
