Between July 2019 and December 2022, EOSC-Pillar coordinated national Open Science efforts across Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Italy, ensuring their contribution to and readiness for the implementation of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The work of EOSC-Pillar consisted of seven areas, focusing on specific aspects of the project.
National Initiatives Survey
Provides a snapshot of the state of the art of national initiatives for open research data and services in each country
Dissemination, Outreach and Community Building
Tackles the human factor of the EOSC through the design and implementation of an overall communication and outreach plan for EOSC-Pillar
From National Initiatives to Trans-national services
Creation of a policy and legal framework for the coordination of National initiatives, that can then be extended to other countries.
Use Cases and Community-Driven Pilots
Deliver usecases to analyse different tools and services for FAIRisation of data and services and type of governance according to the community needs
- Use case 1 - Defining procedures and services to enforce data provenance for thematic communities and beyond
- Use case 2 - Agile FAIR data for environment and Earth system communities
- Use case 3 - Integration of data repositories into EOSC based on communities approaches
- Use case 4 - Software source code preservation, reference and access;
- Use case 5 - FAIR principles in data life-cycles for Humanities
- Use case 6 - Exploring reference data through existing computing services for the bioinformatics community
- Use case 7 - Suitable data formats for seismological big data provisioning via web services
- Use case 8 - Virtual definition of data sets according to RDA recommendations
- Use case 9 - Integrating heterogeneous data on cultural heritage
- New thematic services from the EOSC-Pillar open call
Establishing FAIR Data Services
Progressively reduce technical, societal and organisational barriers to ensure findability, accessibility, interoperability and re-use (FAIR) of research data
Delivering Horizontal Data Storage and Computing Services
Also known as the Infrastructure Layer, EOSC-Pillar will produce solutions supporting a wide range of communities and include services that will be part of the EOSC infrastructure layer
