Project description
Data infrastructure capacity for the European Open Science Cloud
Big data storage and management is the cornerstone of digital services, and Europe cannot afford to leave its digital infrastructure lacking. One of the key tools for researchers and science professionals in the EU is the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), which offers a multitude of services, including storage, data management, processing and analysis. The EU-funded DICE project will provide cutting-edge data management services and a significant amount of storage resources for the EOSC. The data services offered via DICE through EOSC are designed to be multidisciplinary and to fulfil the needs of different research communities. The goal is to enhance the EOSC infrastructure and ensure the best possible support to guide European research and innovation into the future.
Objective
The Data Infrastructure Capacities for EOSC (DICE) consortium brings together a network of computing and data centres, research infrastructures, and data repositories for the purpose to enable a European storage and data management infrastructure for EOSC, providing generic services and building blocks to store, find, access and process data in a consistent and persistent way. Specifically, DICE partners will offer 14 state-of-the-art data management services together with more than 50 PB of storage capacity. The service and resource provisioning will be accompanied by enhancing the current service offering in order to fill the gaps still present to the support of the entire research data lifecycle; solutions will be provided for increasing the quality of data and their re-usability, supporting long term preservation, managing sensitive data, and bridging between data and computing resources.
All services provided via DICE will be offered through the EOSC Portal and interoperable with EOSC Core via a lean interoperability layer to allow efficient resource provisioning from the very beginning of the project. The partners will closely monitor the evolution of the EOSC interoperability framework and guidelines to comply with a) the rules of participation to onboard services into EOSC, and b) the interoperability guidelines to integrate with the EOSC Core functions.
The data services offered via DICE through EOSC are designed to be agnostic to the scientific domains in order to be multidisciplinary and to fulfil the needs of different communities.
The consortium aims to demonstrate their effectiveness of the service offering by integrating services with community platforms as part of the project and by engaging with new communities coming through EOSC.
