EGI-Engage: WP 4 (JRA 2) Platforms for the Data Commons TASK JRA 2. 1: Federated Open Data Design and prototype an Open Data platform as a solution to integrate various data repositories available in EGI, link them to the Open. AIRE. Analysis of open data use cases and requirements Analyse and support test use cases of open data from different data providers, including fishery and marine sciences, agriculture (Agri-Know) and biodiversity datasets. This will be expanded with additional communities according to the requirements collected from the competence centres Design and develop the Open Data platform prototype The design will consider the possibility to integrate current EGI storage services into the platform backend. Open Data platform demonstrator The prototype of the Open Data platform will be demonstrated on resources provided by the NGIs that volunteered to offer capacity initial testing and feedback These providers are: CYFRONET (NGI-PL), IFCA (NGI-ES), CESNET (NGI-CZ). The list might grow during the execution of the project (IFCA, 4 PM) EGI-Engage www. egi. eu

Federated Open Data – Challenge • Opening up and linking the repositories to open data catalogues will contribute to the creation of a European linked data infrastructure for research enabling users to seamlessly discover and access available open data and processing them in the large scale computational infrastructure, creating a big data value chain. • The platform will enable the data owners making their data available publicly at the request. The process for publishing data may vary in complexity depending on aspects such as: size, type, retention polices and others. • Moreover it will optimize access to open data sets, making possible to access large-scale computation involving open data no matter where they are. EGI-Engage www. egi. eu

Federated Open Data Implementation • The Open Data platform will organize flow of the open data between EGI infra and the “outside” world. • The offered solution will be decentralized and will reduce barriers and effort required to publish or process open data. Comment: consider the complete data life cycle • Due to the limitation of the planned effort, the maturity of the solution will be at prototype level. EGI-Engage www. egi. eu

EGI-Engage: WP 2 (NA 2) Strategy, Policy and Communications TASK NA 2. 2 Strategy, Business Development and Exploitation • Cross-border procurement of e-Infrastructure services Goal: analyze opportunities and barriers for cross-border procurement of e. Infrastructure services and to identify best practices that could enable RIs or large research collaborations to acquire services to support their research agenda collectively. The report will be disseminated to relevant authorities at national and international level, including those involved in structural funding, and feedback will be collected. The activity will be led by CERN with the contribution of INGV (representing EPOS), CSIC (representing Life. Watch), BBMRI-ERIC, RBI (representing DARIAH) and EGI. eu (representing EGI and liaising with the NGIs). (IFCA, 3 PM) EGI-Engage www. egi. eu

EGI-Engage: WP 2 (NA 2) Strategy, Policy and Communications TASK NA 2. 2 Strategy, Business Development and Exploitation • Pay for use implementation EGI operates within a publicly funded research and academic environment providing services free at point of delivery with resources bought from grants dedicated to certain groups or disciplines either by direct allocation or by peer review. With the advent of cloud computing, business models and user expectations are shifting towards on-demand pay-for-use service provision increasing flexibility and agility. This new paradigm provides motivation for EGI to explore new service definitions by enabling the possibility to provide ICT services that can be paid for the use, along with the more traditional procurement of resources to be managed and offered for free to the owners. This activity is closely linked to the EGI Marketplace and JRA 1. (CESGA, 2 PM) EGI-Engage www. egi. eu

Life. Watch Competence Center TASK SA 2. 7 Life. Watch (Lead partner: CSIC, M 1 – M 30) • The goal of the Life. Watch EGI CC is to capture and address the requirements of Biodiversity and Ecosystems research communities. • To achieve this the CC will • deploy cloud and GPGPU based e-Infrastructure services required to support data management, data processing and modelling for Ecological Observatories, • explore possibilities to increase the participation of citizens in data-intensive biodiversity research, • facilitate the adoption and exploitation of the EGI infrastructure by the Life.
