Cooperative ISS Research data Conservation and Exploitation of

Cooperative ISS Research data Conservation and Exploitation of ISS Scientific data sustainability EGI-Aparsen Workshop March 4 -6 2014 Science Park– Amsterdam – The Netherlands March 4 -6 2014 EGI-Aparsen Workshop

European experiments in space Ø ELIPS achievements (i. e. ELIPS-1/-2/-3, 2002 -2012 period) #investigations (total): ØGround-based facilities: ~ 100 ØParabolic flights: ~ 500 ØSounding rockets: ~60 ØRetrievable capsules: ~85 ØISS: ~230 Ø ELIPS-4 near-term projections (2013 -2016 period) #investigations (per annum): ØGround-based facilities: 25 to 35 ØParabolic flights: 20 to 35 ØSounding rockets: up to 5 ØISS: 35 to 45 Ø Mean costs (2013 -2016 period): ØISS operations: ~100 M€/year ØELIPS-4: ~50 M€/year March 4 -6 2014 EGI-Aparsen Workshop Source: ESA HSO Courtesy of ESA 2

Concept ØISS data e-infrastructure core services: ØData & knowledge collection Øprocessing of raw data and creation of exploitable data files in standard format Øcreation of metadata Øvalidation of the data files and contents ØProvision of easy-to-use tools for: Øcontents (metadata) navigation, querying, browsing, requesting data, in compliance with the applicable data policy ØData management Øprocesses for data preservation Øuser accounting and requests Øaccounting of preserved contents Øaccounting of utilization of preserved contents and the assignment of related credits ØData and contents preservation (TBD) March 4 -6 2014 EGI-Aparsen Workshop 3

Concept ØPossible federated services with other infrastructures: ØAuthentication and Accounting Øcommon ID of European researchers Øsingle login ØData preservation Øarchive and preservation of exploitable datasets, in compliance with restricted access requirements (TBD) Øassignment of unique ID for digital resources Øtools for data preservation and verification ØOpen Access Øprovision of bibliometric reports Ømonitoring publications for credits assignment verification ØHPC Øprovision of HPC capabilities upon user request Ørepositories of software for simulation and data analysis ØESFRI and domain-specific infrastructures Ødatasets Østandard ontologies Øtools for data processing, analysis and visualization March 4 -6 2014 EGI-Aparsen Workshop 4

Sustainability approach ØGeneral considerations ØOperative costs are expected to be minimized through federating with other service-providing infrastructures ØCosts related to content generation are expected to be reduced engaging the communities into the game in the medium-long term (3 -5 years, TBC) ØTwo phases approach ØPhase I ØStarting from scratch, aimed at achieving the “critical mass” of information, data and use cases needed to engage the communities ØPhase II Øscientist-driven content upgrade, coordinated and validated by the infrastructure Øutilization for scientific and industrial purposes March 4 -6 2014 EGI-Aparsen Workshop 6

Main costs Site: Øexisting national and international assets must be exploited Ørelatively small size of the contents to be preserved Øno dedicated site (and cost) seems necessary at the moment System maintenance & operations: Øskills and efforts Øarchive management Øarchive operation and update ØH/W and S/W update Øconnectivity Governance: Øa board of data owners (space agencies and scientists) is foreseen to Øevaluate data access requests Ømaintain/upgrade data policy Øaccount for preserved contents Øaccount for content utilization Øboard members costs is not quoted (being an institutional activity) Øsecretary support is provided by the infrastructure March 4 -6 2014 EGI-Aparsen Workshop 7

Main costs Management: Øinternal monitoring and coordination of activities Øinterface and reporting towards stakeholders, including other RIs ØInterface toward users Øensure proper performance of the infrastructure Contents update and upgrade: Øprocessing raw data (telemetry) to produce exploitable datasets Øextracting information from source documents for Øinstruments Øscience Øoperations Øcreating metadata (populating the current schemas and ontology), assigning ID and creating links with other resources Øupdating datasets and metadata according to validation requirements Ødelivery of datasets and metadata to the archives Øcollecting input and recommendations for schemas and ontology update March 4 -6 2014 EGI-Aparsen Workshop 8
