Rafael Jimenez presents the EOSCpilot data interoperability | OSFair2017 Workshop Workshop title: How FAIR friendly is your data catalogue? Workshop overview: This workshop will build upon the work planned by the EOSCpilot data interoperability task and the BlueBridge workshop held on April 3 at the RDA meeting. We will investigate common mechanisms for interoperation of data catalogues that preserve established community standards, norms and resources, while simplifying the process of being/becoming FAIR. Can we have a simple interoperability architecture based on a common set of metadata types? What are the minimum metadata requirements to expose FAIR data to EOSC services and EOSC users? DAY 3 - PARALLEL SESSION 6 & 7

2. EOSCpilot WP6 : Interoperability
Partners involved:
STFC, ELIXIR, CNRS, KIT, ARC, JISC, CNR, INFN, DESY, ICOS, GEANT, INAF, BGS, UMAN, PIN,
CEA, CINECA, Athena, UFlorence
Tasks:
T6.1: gap analysis & interoperability architecture
T6.2: EOSC Research and Data interoperability
T6.3: Interoperability pilots

3. Establish principles and develop
mechanisms that enable the EOSC to
provide research and data interoperability
across the diversity of existing (and
potential future) research communities,
research infrastructures, and other
research assets.
6.2 Vision

4. Propose and demonstrate
a data interoperability architecture
to expose FAIR data
to EOSC services and users
6.2 Goal
Demonstrate how to ensure availability of scientific data
and data-analysis services through a cloud infrastructure
and design a stakeholder driven governance framework
Pilot action for EOSC

14. 6.2 implementation plan

16. Summary
• What
• Expose metadata useful for EOSC services and EOSC user
to find and use data
• How
• Recommendations
• Minimum properties
• Models
• Technologies
• Demo
• Data catalogues
• Dataset services

17. Guiding principles
driving ... 1.- the work of this working
group and 2.- the recommendations we
will propose to EOSC.
17

18. Reuse: Leverage the rich legacy of Research Infrastructures
• Making data FAIR is the responsibility of the Research Infrastructures and their
data repositories
• We must rely on research infrastructure data catalogues
• We must support an ecosystem of catalogues
• We should provide metadata quality recommendations to feedback to RIs
Least: The least possible metadata for the most benefit
• Findability should come first
• Common and minimum metadata
• Focus on common data types: datasets and data repositories
• Flexible metadata models to embrace domain specifics
• Service requirements and operational metadata first class citizen
Practical: Sustainable and pragmatic delivery
• Engage EOSC demonstrator data repositories
• Propose methods to expose metadata
• Simple to implement, easy to sustain
• Deliver guidelines and demonstrators
