Abstract
The EOSC-hub project creates the integration and management system of the future European Open Science Cloud that delivers a catalogue of services, software and data from the EGI Federation, EUDAT CDI, INDIGO-DataCloud and major research e-infrastructures. This integration and management system (the Hub) builds on mature processes, policies and tools from the leading European federated e-Infrastructures to cover the whole life-cycle of services, from planning to delivery. The Hub aggregates services from local, regional and national e-Infrastructures in Europe, Africa, Asia, Canada and South America.
The Hub acts as a single contact point for researchers and innovators to discover, access, use and reuse a broad spectrum of resources for advanced data-driven research. Through the virtual access mechanism, more scientific communities and users have access to services supporting their scientific discovery and collaboration across disciplinary and geographical boundaries.
Goals
The EOSC-hub mission is to contribute to the EOSC infrastructure implementation roadmap by enabling seamless and open access to a system of research data and services provided across nations and disciplines.
EOSC-hub will realise the EOSC infrastructure as an ecosystem of research e-Infrastructures leveraging existing national and European investments in digital research infrastructures.
In particular:
O1) Simplify access to a broad portfolio of products, resources and service provided by the major pan-European and international organisations through an open and integrated service catalogue.
O2) Remove fragmentation of service provisioning and access to high-quality digital services in Europe and beyond through the technical integration and adoption of standards for interoperability of compute, storage, data and software platforms.
O3) Consolidate e-Infrastructures by expanding capacity and capabilities and improving service quality.
O4) Widen the access to services to all user groups including researchers, high-education, business organisations and expand the user base.
O5) Provide a knowledge hub
O6) Increase innovation capacity of Research e-Infrastructures
