tentative timeline

in this meeting

• we will focus on selected Topics from two (2) Work Programmes– European Research Infrastructures (from Excellence

Science)– Information & Communication Technologies (from

LEIT)

• they will serve as the pool from which we will chose Challenges to work with

• this talk: to give you a very brief intro to the selected Topics [not to discuss, just to inform]

Draft 18 September 2013

scientific data framework

relevant topics

INFRADEV 1-2014: Design Studies




• Deadline: September 2nd, 2014• design study for an e-infrastructure on food science(s)?

– leading to a more permanent ESFRI structure (legal entity etc)

• several ESFRI e-infrastructures on plant science, forestry, etc– not sure if a food science proposal has been tried in the past– would be very relevant as a topic to other INFRA challenges as well

(could mean that someone is already working on it)

• could be an interesting next step for the sustainability of agINFRA – if not subsumed by LifeWatch– if not continued as a Community data service proposal (not in this

WP version though!)

reflection & thoughts

EINFRA 1-2014: Big research data



• Deadline: September 2nd, 2014• topic (a) seems like potentially relevant• I assume that only one project will be selected: big

players will come out to play (EUDAT etc.)• interesting, if we can convince that agriculture can be

one of the targeted communities• build on legacy of agINFRA


EINFRA 2-2014: eInfra for Open Access





• Deadline: April 15th, 2014• only one project will be selected: big players will come

out to play (OpenAIRE etc.)• interesting, if we can convince that agriculture is one of

the core themes (where principal thematic repositories participate)

• build on legacy of agINFRA, VOA3R and AGRIS that created a thematic network of repositories


INFRASUPP 6-2014: International




• Deadline: September 2nd, 2014• interesting to link agINFRA with relevant infrastructures

in USA, Canada, Russia, Australia, New Zealand– are there such infrastructures in these regions?– do we know contact people there?– who should lead such a CSA?


INFRASUPP 4-2015: Professions & skills



• Deadline: January 1st, 2015• very relevant to

– Research Data Management interests– Capacity Building activities of all key stakeholders & relevant training

programmes

• possibly only one small project of 2M to be funded• needs good representation of key partners

– plus a number of thematic pilots (such as agriculture)

• partnerships, communities and core curricula may be developed earlier than 2015– e.g. in agINFRA & SemaGrow we will develop pilot curricula and training– e.g. UAH could pilot an online course


ICT LEIT WP - relevant topics

ICT 13 – 2014: Web entrepreneurship



• Deadline: April 23rd, 2014• Explore if thematic projects (or themes into projects) can

be proposed• Aim at a CSA that will help the creation and networking

of start ups on agricultural data-powered apps/tech– link them to all the stakeholders of the agriculture/food value

chain– help them understand challenges of the industries– connect them to potential customers


ICT 15 – 2014: Big Data Innovation & take-up




• Deadline: April 23rd, 2014• Collaborative projects in (a)

– propose a pan-European open agriculture data incubator

• based on pilot activities of agINFRA & Agro-Know

• CSA for (b)– serve as a concrete agricultural and/or educational

case study for the Big Data Aggregator Integrator


ICT 16 - 2015: Big Data - Research




• Deadline: January 20th, 2015• interesting industry-focused campaigns & challenges

– to run pilot ones within agINFRA to serve as demonstrators

• to link to real, current societal challenges that can be backed up with open data

• see examples such as the Big Data Hackathon of London– http://bigdatahackathon.azurewebsites.net– take advantage of Agro-Know & Data Science London

collaboration

ICT 17 – 2014: Cracking language barrier



• Deadline: April 23rd, 2014• Focus particularly in pan-European & multilingual online

services– textual data aggregators like GLN, AGRIS, …– online services like Organic.Edunet, openAGRIS, Org.ePrints, …

• Build on lessons learnt from Organic.Lingua PSP pilot– Especially recommendations during & after reviews– Use good language technology partners like CELI


Thank you – to be continued during brainstorming sessions!

supplementary material & previous versions

Topic 5: Community data services




• OurFood proposal?– based on agINFRA practices & guidelines– using simpler & more modern infrastructure and technology

• Will be in 2015– but is the main call/topic under which our agricultural data

interoperability efforts may be aligned

• paving the way towards an agricultural research e-infrastructure (ERIC)?– http://ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/index_en.cfm
