The EOSC Future project has prepared a draft proposal for the EOSC Interoperability Framework. On 25 March, members of the EOSC community can join a public consultation on the proposal, asking questions and offering feedback on the concept proposed and its governance. Register now.
Enabling interoperability across resources and services is essential for building a European Open Science Cloud that is federated and fit for purpose. In turn, interoperability guidelines are necessary to facilitate the cross-discipline collaboration of researchers, providers and research communities.
On 25 March 2022 from 14.00-15.30 CET, EOSC Future is hosting an online public consultation. The scope of discussions will cover, primarily:
- core concepts (layers of interoperability, FAIR principles, etc.)
- proposed governance mechanisms (e.g. EOSC IF Registry, EOSC IF Guideline Proposal Process)
- the overall vision and direction of the EOSC Interoperability Framework.
Who should attend
The meeting is open to members of the EOSC community. More specifically:
- anyone working on national or community interoperability guidelines
- members of research institutions planning to engage with EOSC-Core services
- members of research institutions planning to offer services or data with unmet interoperability requirements
- members of operating services
- anyone who has interoperability guidelines to share.
Following the online consultation, you will be invited to respond to a short online survey to understand the extent to which you agree with the concepts, definitions and governance process proposed.
