eosc hubThe emerging EOSC ecosystem will unquestionably require a minimum set of interoperability metadata to ensure basic discoverability, navigation and accessibility between systems. The OpenAIRE Guidelines allow content providers in EOSC to expose metadata about their research products in a uniform, broadly accepted format, thereby maximizing their accessibility, interoperability, findability, and support of reproducibility according to FAIR data principles.

EOSC-hub and OpenAIRE Advance are proud to be part of the EOSC implementation roadmap, which is based on six strategic action lines: a) architecture, (b) data, (c) services, (d) access and interfaces, (e) rules and (f) governance.

OpenAIRE and EOSC-hub are active in the following action lines: 

 
Action lines
Architecture Provides a framework to manage services sourced from a number of service providers and plays the role of service integrator. Connects institutional, national and thematic infrastructures in Europe into supporting open/FAIR science and links to them to similar infrastructures around the world.
Data Through the EOSC-hub Marketplace, provides a discovery and access channel to FAIR-accredited datasets Facilitates the discovery, accessibility and re-use of data produced by scientists and fosters a FAIR and open research data management culture via systematic training.
Services

Contributes to the definition of a participatory and lightweight service portfolio management process in collaboration with the participating service providers.

Engages with the demand and supply side of the EOSC, and will co-develop and operate a marketplace as one entry point to EOSC.

Supports the optimum use of resources through middleware services that connect all types of research artifacts, from all phases of the research life cycle.

Provides Research Data Management services to plan, store, anonymize, publish and link research results.

Monitors (open) research in Europe via provenance-based services.

Provides a coordinated Open Science Helpdesk (in 34 European countries) for support and training of data scientists, research administrators and project coordinators.

Rules of Participation Collaborates with partners and external projects/initiatives to establish and maintain a corpus of policies that is attractive and provides value for both service providers and service users. Transforms open science policies into concrete rules and guidelines for:
