1. EOSC Services for Scientists

2. 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.

3. 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

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

5. 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

10. 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… …

11. Cross-users services
Unified authentication and authorization mechanism (Mandatory) 
Service catalogue (Mandatory)  
Virtual Research Environments (/Virtual Laboratories/Science Gateways) Factory service

12. 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?
