Summary and conclusions
Technical Meeting with CNR and INAF - 7 October 2014 2

3. How e-Infrastructures support the Scientific Method
(worldwide,
cross-domain,
collaboration enabler)
Data Infrastructures
Open Access Doc. Repos.
Data Repos.
Semantic-web enrichment of linked data
Data preservation
HTC/HPC Clusters
Grids, Clouds
Challenge: «walk» across the knowledge path both ways 3

4. Our approach (since March 2014)
Short term - DONE!
Create a Open Access repository
Make it compliant with both «de jure» and «de facto» standards
Make it easily visible and discoverable
Medium term - DONE!
Use PID/DOI services to tag papers, data, software and VMs where scientific results can be reproduced and extended (agreement established with the DOI Project of the Conference of Italian Universities)
Allow federated authentication
Interface the repository with local, grid and cloud storage through Science Gateways
Outreach - IN PROGRESS
Open the repository to other organisations in Italy (we already got the interest of the Science and Technology Park of Sicily)
Make it well reputed (already connected to Web Ranking of Repositories) 4

5. Requirements, choices and motivations
Open source
Standard compliant
Well supported
Scalable up to O(106)-O(107) resources (to begin with)
Choice:
Invenio ( – actual version: our add-ons
Motivations:
Fully compliant with OAI-PMH and Marc21 standards
Co-developed by an international collaboration comprising institutes such as ​CERN, ​DESY, ​EPFL, ​FNAL, ​SLAC and used by about 30 scientific institutions worldwide
ZENODO (OpenAIRE flagship repository) and SCOAP3 repositories are based on Invenio
The CERN Document Server ( contains more than million documents 5

6. The INFN Open Access Repository (www.openaccessrepository.it)
authentication
federated
Automatic ingestion in place from:
papers
data

7. Examples of document and data resources
Data stored on:

22. Analysis of ALEPH data with the CHAIN-REDS Science Gateway (3/4)
Technical Meeting with CNR and INAF - 7 October 2014 22

23. Analysis of ALEPH data with the CHAIN-REDS Science Gateway (4/4)
Technical Meeting with CNR and INAF - 7 October 2014 23

24. Summary and conclusions (1/2)
Open Access Repository is a pilot data preservation repository of INFN and other Italian Research Organisations' products (publications, software, data, etc.) meant to serve both researchers and citizen scientists
OAR is powered by the INVENIO software and is both an OAI conforming and an official OpenDOAR data provider, able to automatically harvest resources from different sources, e.g. SCOAP3
It is also one of the official OpenAIRE archives, compliant with version 3.0 of its guidelines
Technical Meeting with CNR and INAF - 7 October 2014 24

25. Summary and conclusions (2/2)
OAR allows SAML-based federated authentication and it is one of the Service Providers of the eduGAIN inter- federation
It is also connected to Datacite for the issuance and registration of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs)
But what makes OAR different from other repositories is its capability to connect to Science Gateways and exploit cloud resources worldwide, including EGI and EUDAT ones, to easily reproduce/extend scientific analyses
