EGI-InSPIRE RI Better scientific publications tracking (barriers) 1.Lack of a solid process for distributed communities accessing federated multi-domain infrastructures –Resource allocation performed at institutional/national level 2.Lack of tools to support the effective manual/automatic tracking of scientific publications to be linked to e- Infrastructures 3.Lack of awareness from researchers of what e- Infrastructure is being used –e.g.: access through dedicated science gateways hide underlying platform 7 NA2.3 - June 2013 Strategic Planning : Demonstrating Excellent Science

EGI-InSPIRE RI Better scientific publications tracking (actions) 1.Creating the tool (without reinventing the wheel) –Established a collaboration with OpenAIRE for extending their service to allow the manual/automatic tracking of scientific publications from distributed autonomous research communities linked to e-Infrastructures (to be rolled out in PY4) 2.Defined process –Change of User AUP to allow infrastructures to mandate use of acknowledgment statements in research outputs –Proposed process in the context of the Federated Resource Allocation to integrate the defined tool 3.Increase awareness –Through a dedicated communication campaign (PY4) 8 NA2.3 - June 2013 Strategic Planning : Demonstrating Excellent Science

EGI-InSPIRE RI Classifying Research Outputs by Scientific Discipline Problem –Many EGI tools map user-related information to scientific disciplines –A legacy simple classification was inherited by EGEE, while other richer classifications were adopted by tools developers –Inconsistent usage across tools make difficult to track impact by discipline and limit re-use of results Solution –Defined a new classification based on the Frascati Fields of Science (FOS) –Validated through survey to VOs and public comment period –Assessed cost for updating/aligning tools Implementation –Planned in PY4 for tools that have available effort (prioritisation to be confirmed) 9 NA2.3 - June 2013 Strategic Planning : Demonstrating Excellent Science

EGI-InSPIRE RI Improve Service Portfolio Management Problem: EGI.eu activities directly mapped to EGI-InSPIRE Global Tasks Rigid structure not directly linked to value proposition Difficult to market Solution: Defined a template for structuring a service portfolio Refactored Global tasks into EGI.eu Service Portfolio Defined initial solutions portfolio Plan for Y4: Transfer the experience to NGIs for a core NGI service portfolio Define the EGI Partnership Service Portfolio 10 NA2.3 - June 2013 Strategic Planning : Improve Business Modeling
