Project description
Ensuring access to the diversity of data
Scientific collaboration is important, especially in a world where societal and scientific challenges are intertwined. This is the case in the fields of earth and environmental sciences. It has become essential to develop gateways for developing services that span disciplines. This is the focus of the EU funded FAIR EASE project. Specifically, the project will go beyond state of the art to customise and operate distributed and integrated services for observation and modelling of the Earth system, environment and biodiversity. Along these lines, the project will improve data discovery and access. It will also create an Earth Analytical Lab offering web-based interfaces, predefined processing tools and on-demand data visualisation services for remote analysis and processing of heterogeneous data.
Objective
Earth and environmental sciences require a large panel and volume of data from satellite, in-situ observations, models, omics experiments... Earth system domains are interconnected and even if interfaces between domains appear of primary importance for several studies with large societal impacts, such as climate change, agriculture and food, human safety and health, the present digital architecture is based essentially on distributed and domain-dependent data repositories inducing real difficulties for integrated uses of all the environmental data.
To go beyond this state-of-the-art, the overall objective of FAIR-EASE is to customize and operate distributed and integrated services for observation and modelling of the Earth system, environment and biodiversity by improving the TRL of their different components implemented in close cooperation with user-communities, the European Open Science Cloud and research infrastructures in their design and sustainable availability.
The project will: (1) Improve a FAIR-EASE data discovery and data access service, relying on pre-operational existing services, in order to provide users with an easy and FAIR tool for discovery and access to environmental multidisciplinary and aggregated data-sets as managed and provided by a range of European data infrastructures; (2) Set up a FAIR-EASE Earth Analytical Lab, with EOSC connectivity supporting, through web-based interfaces, predefined processing tools and on-demand data visualization services for remote analysis and processing of heterogeneous data facilitating the cross-disciplinary collaboration, reducing the time to results and increasing productivity; and (3) Develop a number of multidisciplinary Use Cases (UCs) to contribute requirements for the FAIR-EASE system components and to validate and demonstrate the capabilities of the FAIR-EASE service for supporting open science.
