EOSC-hub Roles and Activities in EOSC

30/01/19

• Provides a framework to manage services sourced from a number of service providers

• Is accountable for end-to-end service governance, management, integration, assurance and coordination

• Manages the relationships with service providers through processes like business relationship management, service portfolio management, quality assurance

• Provides supporting services and activities, such as the Service Portfolio Management Tool, marketplace etc.

6

Contribution of EOSC-hub to the EOSC implementation roadmap

30/01/19

• Provides a discovery and access channel to FAIR-accredited datasets

• Offers EUDAT B2FIND metadata catalogue and other registries of repositories, as well as community-specific data discovery and access tools that are part of the EOSC-hub catalogue

• Makes available generic data management and compute services to end users to access, stage and analyse data from FAIR-compliant sources

7

Contribution of EOSC-hub to the EOSC implementation roadmap

30/01/19

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

• Maintains the service portfolio so that all services are specified, including planning, design and transition of new or changed services

• Maps offer against demand, identifying gaps, i.e. needs that are partly or not covered at all

• Monitors and assesses service use as well as service provider performance and conformance to the EOSC Rules of Participation

• Defines procurement and delivery model(s) for services

8

Contribution of EOSC-hub to the EOSC implementation roadmap

30/01/19

• Engages with the demand and supply side of the EOSC• Co-develops and operates a marketplace as one entry

point to EOSC• Co-develops with research communities the policies

and tools that enable federated access and supply• Supports different access policies (e.g. sponsored

access, policy-based access and pay for use access) to enable different business models

9

Contribution of EOSC-hub to the EOSC implementation roadmap

30/01/19

• With input from collaborating projects and initiatives, collectively gathers and maintains a corpus of Rules of Participation to the Hub

• Defines the conditions for service providers to offer services through the Hub, taking into account different perspectives, for example technical, operational, legal and financial

• Provides a framework of service/resource-specific procedures for lightweight quality assurance, for example through the periodic auditing of conformance of the participating providers

• Research communities- Discover services through a

secure online catalogue with a central access point.

- Access services via harmonised access policies and Service Level Agreements. Depending on the customer’s needs, access will be provided through a centrally managed credit-based allocation system and/or through long-term resource allocation.

- Leverage a large portfolio of generic and thematic services via standard interfaces

- Provide requirements, co-design, testing

• Research Infrastructures -Providers

- Contribute to EOSC with servicesbased on a harmonised corpus of access, security and provisioning policies.

- Integrate and Federate services by relying on harmonised processes and tools for service integration and management.

- Scale-up in-house capacity by procuring services via a centrally run procurement and purchase framework.

- Reach out to user communities and support

- Collaborate with other providers

Research Project Enabling Cycle

1. Evolve enabling technologies

2. Integrate services

3. Provide → support → access → consume

4. Engage with external user communities and

providers, collect requirements

30/01/19 15

• Objective: Widen the access to services to all user groups including researchers, high-education, business organizations and expand the user base

• Objective: Increase innovation capacity of Research e-Infrastructures Solutions successfully adopted by user communities will be supported for broader exploitation by external stakeholders. In addition to the DIH, the project stimulates engagement via large research collaborations and infrastructures via 8 Competence Centres

Digital Innovation Hub [KER3]• A platform that allows facilitates

engagement between private industry and public institutions participating in the EOSC

Competence Centres [KER5]• Research communities, service

providers and experts contributing to- Co-design: Requirements, gap
