3. What is EOSC? research data management
“The objective of the EOSC is to give the Union a global lead in
research data management
and ensure that
European scientists reap the full benefits of data-driven science,
by offering 1.7 million European researchers and 70 million Professionals
in science and technology
a virtual environment
with
free at the point of use, open and seamless services
for
storage, management, analysis and re-use of research data,
across borders and scientific disciplines.”
EOSC Implementation Roadmap (March 2018)

13. EOSC Working Groups Landscape FAIR Architecture Rules of Participation
Mapping of the existing research infrastructures which are candidates to be part of the EOSC federation;
FAIR
Implementing the FAIR data principles by defining the corresponding requirements for the development of EOSC services, in order to foster cross-disciplinary interoperability;
Architecture
Defining the technical framework required to enable and sustain an evolving EOSC federation of systems;
Rules of Participation
Designing the Rules of Participation that shall define the rights, obligations governing EOSC transactions between EOSC users, providers and operators;
Sustainability
Providing a set of recommendations concerning the implementation of an operational, scalable and sustainable EOSC federation after 2020.
