EOSC Data Commons

EOSC Data Commons’s mission is to support the establishment of EOSC as a trusted European Research Commons. This ecosystem aims to provide seamless access to high-quality, interoperable research outputs and services. By doing so, it enables European researchers to collaborate more easily, increase their productivity, and achieve higher levels of excellence.

The project aims to enhance and speed up data lifecycle management by providing innovative EOSC Exchange services. These services support the discovery, analysis, deposition, preservation, sharing, use, and reuse of research data within a European data and computing continuum. This initiative builds upon the capabilities of the EOSC EU Node and national and European infrastructures dedicated to data-intensive research. It also involves a community of federated repositories stemming from national, institutional, and thematic initiatives.

The project’s pan-European consortium involves open-source technology providers, major national and thematic data repositories, and user communities contributing to the co-design, testing and validation activities with their use cases. By working with 12 national and institutional data repositories, the project has the ambition of delivering new solutions that will support the integration of Nodes in the future EOSC Federation.
The project will deliver:

1. an AI-based Analytics-Oriented Metadata Warehouse and Discovery Service;

2. a federation of data repositories from different providers enriched by scientific applications and data analytics tools

3. a Catalogue of data analytics tools

4. an Execution Service for tool deployment and execution

5. metadata specifications for the reproducible and interoperable execution of analytic tools

6. FAIRness assessment and reproducibility toolset and related policies.

This project has received support from the EOSC EU Node.
