EOSC Services for Scientists Paolo Manghi ISTI-CNR paolo.manghi@isti.cnr.it

EOSC Scientists They use high-level functionality (i.e. User Interfaces) to perform domain specific research activities and generate research artifacts They may have very good understanding of IT opportunities by very limited programming skills They collaborate by sharing and reusing research artifacts and exchanging ideas. www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Resources of interest Services for scientists, services supported through EOSC that can support scientists at performing their research activities and accomplish the relative intermediate tasks Research artifacts, intended as results of science managed by Services, e.g. publications, datasets, scientific software, scientific workflows, notebooks, research packages (e.g. research objects), etc. Research artifacts are described by metadata and possibly meaningfully interlinked Virtual research environments, EOSC workplace that is open, policy-driven, which seemlessly provides (groups) a set of Services serving the needs of a group of scientist www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Services for Scientists Services aiming at facilitating and supporting the implementation of open science-friendly practices and workflows www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

FAIRness of Services FAIRness of data (and research artifacts) is a key property, responsibility of the services. FAIRness of services can be interpreted as a measure of the ability of services to manage content in a FAIR manner We can state that (i) Services managing artifacts should make an effort to produce FAIR data (and other artifacts) (ii) A measure of such “FAIRness” of the services should be devised www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Service classes Cross-Users Services Collaboration Scholarly Communication Use/group/pipelines Services, share ideas/info Publish artifacts to scientists (consumers) Artifact management: creation/processing, reproduce Deposit, enrich, interlink artifacts Find, reuse artifacts Artifact deposition: preservation/access, validation/certification www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Artifact management: creation/processing Workflows Management Services for the creation, execution and monitoring of workflows Research Package Management Services for the creation and exploitation of research packages (e.g. reproducibility) Domain/RI Specific Processing Services capable of transparently supporting (possibly in an efficient and scalable way) processing functionalities over input data Automatic metadata enrichment and interlinking services ... www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Artifact deposition: preservation/access and certification/validation Artifact Repository services where research artifacts can be deposited, curated and made accessible through specific APIs and protocols;   Research artifacts preservation services Research artifacts catalogue service(s) Mediator (standard-based) services / APIs PID provisioning/minting services   Metadata / profile validation services  Policy Compatibility checking services for consumers a d artifacts ToU compatibility-check  … www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Collaboration Services Virtual Research Environments Shared workspace /dropBox-like services ….. Social networking services, aka academic networks  Collaborative research services (e.g. Science blogs) for citizens and scientists   Shared bibliography collecting services Shared annotation services, e.g. open reviews, notes Services supporting alternative reputation systems ……. www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Scholarly Communication services Artefact publishing services supporting APIs capable of managing on demand all issues relative to publishing research artefacts License compatibility services, e.g. verifying that the artifacts obtained by reusing others are not violating the original license, artifacts being published do not violate original mandates Subscription & Notification services  … Recommender services… … www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Cross-users services Unified authentication and authorization mechanism (Mandatory)  Service catalogue (Mandatory)   Virtual Research Environments (/Virtual Laboratories/Science Gateways) Factory service  www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563

Questions Should we envisage a finer classification of scientists? Which are the main service functional areas to be initially mentioned? Can we identify a number of mandatory services of classes of services? Shall EOSC foresee a notion of community/discipline/RI to characterise (label/tag) services, artifacts, metadata formats? FAIRness of services, how pervasive should the definition be? www.eoscpilot.eu The European Open Science Cloud for Research pilot project is funded by the European Commission, DG Research & Innovation under contract no. 739563
