EOSC : services et données FAIR pour la recherche

2020

Research software is an essential output in different research domains and needs to be reproducible and extendable throughout future research. Achieving this requires shared principles and know-how among researchers and research institutes. The European Software Sustainability Infrastructure (EuSSI) consortium aims towards identifying key elements and providing common grounds to achieve such a goal in European level. Partners in the EuSSI consortium are all involved-in one way or another-in research software and share a common interest in improving the general quality of research software.This includes various aspects such as the availability of software in the future and the ability to reuse software beyond the project for which it was created. We generally refer to this as Software Sustainability .

This strategy report provides a comprehensive understanding of the connection between European Environmental and Earth System Research Infrastructures and European Open Science Cloud. It aims to define and clarify the relationship between these two entities, highlighting the significance of their collaboration and integration. It focuses on participation in EOSC projects, integration with EOSC architecture, compliance with FAIR Principles, collaboration with EOSC Association, visibility and recognition of ENVRI within the EOSC ecosystem and capacity building and training.

The original scope of task 8.3 is to develop metrics to assess the impact on reproducibility of the availability of life-science open data and workflows in the cloud. A great part of the activities within EOSC-Life is actually related to reproducibility and provides in several ways tools that will have an impact. Therefore, we decided that it would be more informative to describe such activities and to explain why and how they will have an impact on reproducibility in life sciences, instead of providing abstract metrics for such an impact. For these reasons, we changed the title of the deliverable, from "framework to assess ..." to "framework to enhance reproducibility". First of all, we reasoned on what can be the contribution of open science to improve the reproducibility of research. Publicly sharing data, protocols, tools and computational workflows makes it possible to compare or combine the data and outcomes from different studies within a discipline as wel...

Coordinating central-western Europe's plug-in to the European Open Science Cloud is a challenge. But through the collaboration of key players, the foundations have been established through EOSC-Pillar within its first year.

This paper outlines the discussion and presents the main outcomes of two workshops held in Padova and Venice in August–September 2017 on Open Science and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative. The paper describes the three layers on which EOSC is grounded: governance, service and data layer, and discusses the new emerging roles for researchers and research support services. Suggestions about the EOSC implementation at local level are given.

The EOSC-hub project operates many of the core elements of the European Open Science Cloud, and acts as an important facilitator of onboarding providers, users and communities to the EOSC Portal. This document provides a snapshot about the different stakeholders that have been engaged by EOSC-hub until February 2020. The document presents our assessment of the engaged communities from different perspectives: instrument that was used for the engagement; role in the EOSC ecosystem; geographical distribution; science discipline affiliation. Based on the findings we provide recommendations that can help the project strengthen community engagement activities for its remaining lifetime.

In early 2020, the EOSC Community took another crucial step on the road to the development and implementation of the European Open Science Cloud, as seven key EOSC-related Horizon 2020 projects signed a Collaboration Agreement in support of the EOSC Governance. The Agreement involves all the projects supported within the INFRAEOSC-05-2018-2019 call. The Agreement provides a useful framework for all parties to collaborate on a wide range of topics, in order to enhance synergies in all mutual activities related to the EOSC. The projects also agreed on a Joint Activity Plan, which will guide them towards the first iteration of EOSC. Overlaps and complementarities among projects were identified, as well as specific areas for potential cooperation, ultimately aimed at the development of a common strategy to synchronise activities with the EOSC Working Groups. Between April and May 2020, EOSCsecretariat.eu collected the position papers on EOSC compiled by the INFRAEOSC 5b projects, the su...

Software quality evaluation has always been an important part of software business. The quality evaluation process is usually based on hierarchical quality models that measure various aspects of software quality and deduce a characterization of the product quality being evaluated. The particular nature of open source software has rendered existing models inappropriate for detailed quality evaluations.

This report offers some reflections for a better understanding of the realization of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) at a local level, describing the implementation of the newly established Austrian EOSC Mandated Organisation and the EOSC Support Office Austria.

The H2020 project "EOSC Pillar" and its three "sister projects" (5b Projects) are an excellent example of how different European projects can effectively participate in the EOSC building process united in a serious, determined effort formalized by a consensual agreement between the projects. The regional approach, responding to individual, regional needs, has demonstrated the importance of jointly addressing challenges related to the European Open Science Cloud in order to reach the diverse and fragmented European research infrastructure landscape. The resulting FAIR data and conclusions are essential building blocks for continuing similar efforts.

This paper summarizes the context, the offer and the positioning of QualiPSo project in the Open Source domain. QualiPSo is a unique global alliance that facilitates the use of trusted low-cost, flexible Freely licensed Open Source Software (FLOSS) within industries and governments, fuelling innovation and competitiveness. To meet this goal, QualiPSo intends to define and implement technologies, processes and policies to facilitate the development and use of FLOSS components, with the same level of trust traditionally offered by proprietary software. This will leverage the FLOSS development current practices to sound, well recognized and established industrial operations.
