Services for inter- and cross-disciplinary data discovery, access, sharing and reuse in the EOSC Federation

Project description

Building a collaborative future for research data

Researchers face challenges when managing and sharing vast amounts of data. Many struggle with accessing high-quality, interoperable research outputs. This situation can lead to slower progress and less impactful discoveries. Without a unified system, the potential of valuable research data often goes untapped. In this context, the EU-funded EOSC Data Commons project will contribute to establishing the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) as the European Research Commons. This framework is expected to provide a trusted ecosystem where researchers can easily access, share, and use research data. The project will improve data management, making finding, analysing, and reusing research outputs easier. By working with a wide range of partners, EOSC Data Commons seeks to empower researchers across various fields in Europe.

Objective

The EOSC Data Commons project’s mission is to contribute to tThe EOSC Data Commons project’s mission is to contribute to the establishment of EOSC as the European Research Commons, a global trusted ecosystem that provides seamless access to high-quality interoperable research outputs and services that enable European researchers to collaborate more easily, be more productive and achieve higher levels of excellence.
The project achieves this with innovative EOSC Exchange services for improving and accelerating data lifecycle management supporting discovery, analysis, deposition, preservation, sharing, use and reuse of research data in a European data and compute continuum that builds on the capabilities of the EOSC EU Node, national and European infrastructures for data-intensive research and a community of federated repositories from national, institutional and thematic initiatives. The project will deliver:
(1) a AI-based Analytics-Oriented Metadata Warehouse and Discovery Service;
(2) a federation of data repositories from different providers enriched by scientific applications and data analytics tools;
(3) a Catalogue of data analytics tools
(4) an Execution Service for tool deployment and execution;
(5) metadata specifications for the reproducible and interoperable execution of analytic tools;
(6) a FAIRness assessment and reproducibility toolset and related policies.

Innovation is led by multidisciplinary and thematic use cases from Social Sciences and Humanities, Physics, Life Sciences, Biology, Heath and Medicine, and Environmental Science.

The project’s pan-European consortium involves open source technology providers, major national and thematic data repositories, and user communities contributing to co-design, testing and validation with their use cases. By working with 12 national and institutional data repositories, the project has the ambition of delivering new solutions that will support the integration of Nodes in the future EOSC Federation.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
This project's classification has been validated by the project's team.

Keywords

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
