4. EOSC and
EOSC-building projects

5. 5
The EOSC is part of the overall
European Cloud Initiative,
which ultimately aims to connect
business, industry and public
facilities through the cloud.
EOSC-building projects are for instance
• OpenAIRE-Advance
• EOSC-hub
• EOSCpilot
• eInfraCentral
• FREYA

6. The EOSC-hub project mobilises providers from the EGI Federation, EUDAT CDI,
INDIGO-DataCloud and major research e-infrastructures offering services for advanced
data-driven research and innovation.
These resources are offered via the Hub – the integration and management system of
the European Open Science Cloud, acting as a single entry point for all stakeholders.

13. • Findable
– Assign persistent IDs, provide rich metadata, register in a searchable resource, ...
• Accessible
– Retrievable by their ID using a standard protocol, metadata remain accessible even if data aren’t...
• Interoperable
– Use formal, broadly applicable languages, use standard vocabularies, qualified references...
• Reusable
– Rich, accurate metadata, clear licences, provenance, use of community standards...
FAIR data principles

14. H2020 DMP Guidelines: “This template is inspired by FAIR as a general concept.”
Meaning: find your own (disciplinary) practice.
Guidelines on FAIR data management in Horizon 2020:

“Lots of documentation
is needed”
EUDAT FAIR checklist - CC-BY Sarah Jones & Marjan Grootveld, EUDAT. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1065991

22. • Metadata (persistent identifier included) is needed to locate research data and get a first idea of the
content.
• Use relevant standards to enable interoperability.
• Check which standards the long-term repository supports or expects.
Metadata
22
• Arts and humanities
• Engineering
• Life sciences
• Physical sciences and mathematics
• Social and behavioral sciences
• General research data: e.g. Dublin Core and
DataCite
http://rd-alliance.github.io/metadata-directory
https://rdamsc.dcc.ac.uk/
Extra: metadata tools: https://rdamsc.dcc.ac.uk/tool-index
https://fairsharing.org/

23. • Code book explaining the variables
• Study design
• Lab journal
• iPython or Jupyter notebook
• Statistical queries
• Software or instruments to understand or to reproduce the data
• Machine configurations
• Informed consent information
• Data usage licence
• …
In short: document and preserve everything that is needed to reproduce the study –
ideally following the standard in your discipline
Documentation?

24. Interoperability
Before clocks were invented, people
kept time using different instruments to
observe the Sun’s zenith at noon.
Towns and cities set clocks based on
sunsets and sunrises. Time calculation
became a serious problem for people
travelling by train, sometimes hundreds
of miles in a day. UTC is the World's
Time Standard.

Because a DMP is a living document, ask
yourself in each stage of the lifecycle if
there are reasons to update or refine it.

“How to manage your data to make them Open and FAIR”
Different stages of the lifecycle can benefit
from different services: Marketplace

28. B2FIND

31. B2SHARE - Public license selector
31
Choose a public license by
answering some
questions regarding
access to your dataset.
Suggestions depend on
several factors:
- Type of data
- Original licenses
- Data consumer access
and distribution rights
Or use the search
functionality.

32. B2NOTE
32
Use annotations to structure your data (https://b2note.eudat.eu/)
Provided through EOSC-hub:
● Manage and share annotations on data with colleagues and team members
○ Annotations are keywords or commentaries attached to a object, that explains or classifies
it.
○ B2NOTE annotation service is integrated with the B2SHARE service and technology
○ B2NOTE can be easily integrated with other community data repository services
○ Provide training on semantic annotations

33. Marketplace
33
Provided through EOSC-hub:
● Marketplace: multi-tenant user-facing platform for service providers to publish
their EOSC services and EOSC-compliant data repositories, and collect service
orders
○ Mature services and curated data
○ The RI retains control and accountability for the services and data published and participate in the
management of the Hub service portfolio
○ Support to usage of common service templates

34. • Micro data often reveal important private information, e.g., medical condition of a person
- Individuals are afraid to provide their data
- Companies are afraid to share data with experts
- GDPR makes a strict protection scheme obligatory
• The key idea in anonymization is that identifying information is removed from the
published data, so no sensitive information can be attributed to a person – not even after
data linking
• The aim of anonymization methods is to allow sharing such data, without compromising
the privacy of the users.
Amnesia: making personal data shareable
OpenAIRE Amnesia webinar 24-04--2018
https://www.openaire.eu/amnesia-data-anonymization-made-easy

35. • Amnesia not only removes direct identifiers like names, social security numbers et cetera, but
also transforms secondary identifiers like birth date and zip code so that individuals cannot be
identified in the data.
• Amnesia is available as a public beta version at
- https://amnesia.openaire.eu
• On-line version is for demonstration and testing purposes mostly (sample datasets included)
• Sensitive data can be anonymized locally by downloading the application
- Security
- Scalability
• OpenAIRE is in the process of adjusting it to health data, and looking for your feedback!

36. • Catch-all repository for EU-funded research
• Up to 50 GB per upload
• Data stored in the CERN Data Center
• Persistent identifiers (DOIs) for every upload, with DOI versioning
• Includes article-level metrics

39. • Recall that research funders like the EC and (academic) employers increasingly demand DMPs
• Tools available for writing your DMP
Data management planning
DMPOnline: https://dmponline.dcc.ac.uk/
EasyDMP: https://easydmp.sigma2.no/

40. Both tools…
• … contain the EC’s Horizon2020 DMP template
• … allow you to collaborate with others on your DMP (under construction)
• … allow you to export your DMP
• … plan to support “machine-actionable DMPs”
DMP-writing tools
Guidance follows EC Guidance text more closely
Additional DCC guidance
Guidance is more interpretative
Pull-down menus to select e.g. metadata schema
and file formats

41. • When you integrate Open Science in your European research proposal, this makes your
proposal more competitive.
- Grigorov, Ivo; Elbæk, Mikael; Rettberg, Najla; Davidson, Joy: “Winning Horizon 2020 with Open
Science”. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12247
• There is evidence that grant proposals are receiving praise for including a DMP outline – even
though in H2020 a DMP is not required at the proposal stage, and not a competitive point.
• Quotes from EC evaluation reviews of grant proposals:
- “a clear description is provided of how core data sets and model development can be shared broadly
within the scientific community”
- “data storage and accessibility issues are not considered sufficiently”
- “there is very good realization of the commercial potential of the project outcomes, which is
reflected in the establishment of a data management plan, including IP related issues.”
So: you better start early on a concrete and convincing DMP ;-)
Did you know?
Thanks to Ivo Grigorov (Technical University of Denmark, FOSTER project) for sharing these quotes.
