• First list of tasks• Need timeline – but related to other WG plans• Essentially 4-year plan

Tasks1• Task1: internal survey services, data/software resources

– WG7 proforma to collect from other WGs and produce repository – prototypical metadata describing available resources

metadata describing external resources, standards, influences• Task3: definition of conditions & advantages of any

infrastructure (European, national, local) in any relevant discipline joining EPOS. Interoperability criteria, legalities, rights, costs. – Advantages for different stakeholders – access, trustability,

quality...– Tools, services provided at EPOS level from interoperability of

national or project level infrastructures (cooperative operation)

Tasks2

• Task4: work on use cases (requirements) to inform architecture design

• Task5: design architecture (reference model) for EPOS respecting European e-infrastructure (and fully international) and define minimum common functionalities required.

• Task6: gather roadmaps from each other WG and produce a WG7 roadmap for 20 years with conditions/steps for convergence to EPOS platform

Issues around resources

• Objective to encourage data resources, software resources, hardware resources, services to interoperate in EPOS

• Need to define conditions – benefits and expectations

• Traceability and acknowledgement– Usage, ranking?

EPOS e-Infrastructure within Context

• Rely on other developing e-infrastructures e.g.– EUDAT– PRACE/DEISA– Other ESFRI and other large-scale projects (LSST,

ENVRI...)• Produce virtual customised e-Infrastructure

for EPOS based on this• This is cost-effective and compatible way

assisting sustainability

Other WG7 aspects

• Website development – dissemination, outreach, forums

• Education and training using the e-infrastructure
