FAIRCORE4EOSC: Developing EOSC Core components to enable a FAIR EOSC ecosystem

Abstract

FAIRCORE4EOSC is a 36-month EU-funded project aimed to enhance FAIRness in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) ecosystem for research data and associated services. Led by the CSC in Finland, the goal of FAIRCORE4EOSC is to contribute to the development of the EOSC Core in areas like persistent identifiers, metadata and ontologies, interoperability and research software. The project's nine Core Components are described, among them the EOSC PID Graph, the EOSC PID Meta Resolver and the EOSC Research Activity Identifier (RAiD) Service. A number of domain-specific case studies in the SSH, Mathematics or Climate Change are also envisioned to co-develop and test these core components. The presentation focuses on one of these case studies, the European Integration of National level services, and explores the role that national CRIS systems are expected to play in its implementation.
