1. EUDAT Services

2. Interoperabilities

• Session I – Federated AAI

– US works on federated AAI as well, linking different IDs

– EUDAT & Terena/EduGain pilot prototype exists to use

– ‘FIM4R group’ started different pilots (partly with industry)

• Session II – Private-Public Partnerships

– EUDAT CDI offers unique capabilities & know-how for industry

– Collaborations with industry need focus and broader representatives

• Session III – Identifiers

– US and handle system moves to a sustainable foundation (DONA)

– Working with PIDs and DOIs stable and increased usage

– New approaches for identifiers for ‘open time series’

7

3. Policy & Sustainability Issues

• Session I: Access and Reuse policies– Data policies: increasingly long-term & open

– Harmonising across EUDAT centres is essential

– Licensing: compatibility across repos is key to enabling intelligent re-use

• CC 4.0 could give us useful sets of open licences

• Session II: Data Management Plans and Certifications– DMP: increasingly required, and now in H2020

– We need to find carrots as well as sticks: research benefits as well as compliance

– DMPonline: v4 out in beta, highly customizable

– EUDAT plans to adopt & adapt in collaboration with DCC

– DSA: increasingly needed to build trust

– How best to adopt in a distributed infrastructure?

• Session III: Cost and Funding Models– Funding viewpoint: focus on funding & charging

– It’s not about costs but about who pays (and in what “currency”)

Semantic Annotation

Dynamic Data

Workflows

• Understand community and

user requirements

• Regular surveys

• Working groups

LifeWatch/LTER use case

automated, auto corrections

• LifeWatch/LTER use case

• EUON: European Ontology Network,

bring experts together

• Proposal EUDAT Semantic Annotation

service

• How does this integrate with EUDAT

services: PID, B2SAFE, B2SHARE?

• Is not the holy grail, scientists are the

real experts

• But it helps, should be more

automated, auto corrections

ENES and CLARIN use cases• ENES and CLARIN use cases

• EUDAT Generic Execution Framework (GEF)

• HTTP/Rest API to be integrated with workflows

• Bottom up approach to come best workflows to support

• Information about workflows should be easy findable, repositories?

• EPOS: How to refer to streaming, changing,

incomplete (sensor) data

• CLARIN: How to manage crowdsourcing

data and the crowd

• Bi-temporal approach: OBSERVATION and

STATE time to select data sets version at a

certain time

• How to engage with the crowd, how to

manage intellectual, data privacy, with fast

crowing data volumes

Close collaboration between Communities and

IT people are essential
