Building an EOSC in Practice: a summary of the 2nd EOSC HLEG work
Isabel Campos Plasencia, CSIC – Spanish National Research Council, Spain
AbstractEOSC has been envisioned as a coordinated effort to provide an European, open environment for scientific data and related processing that promotes convergence of infrastructures and services provided at national or European level. Realizing this support to the European Research Area requires coordinated actions to provide services to access, process and compute on research data in a scalable way at the European level, ensuring research data is broadly exploitable as a public good. Integration and harmonization are especially important points to be addressed by European-wide Research Communities and scientific computing infrastructures to bridge the “digital gap” between EC countries with different readiness levels. A fundamental aspect is the convergence and alignment of common practices that would lead to the promotion of an open environment for data sharing, software and exploitation potentiated by new services, new users and new data. To fulfil this ambition goals a key step is the development and implementation of policies to support the engagement of all the relevant stakeholders that need to cooperate to make EOSC a viable ecosystem. In this sense it is important understanding the current challenges as opportunities to remove the obstacles that currently prevent an effective sharing and reuse of scientific data, enabling exploitation of the full data potential and harnessing the capacity of regional investments. This presentation will summarize the work and conclusions of the 2nd EOSC HLEG, with a focus on the mechanism of engagement and incentives development from the point of view of the actors that need to develop the EOSC ecosystem. |

Open Science Angle Throughout the Research Process: From Open Science Policies to Actions at the University of Turku, Finland
Mari Riipinen, PhD, University of Turku, Finland
AbstractOpen Science is a movement, megatrend, that is changing the way research and researchers are publicly known, valued and evaluated. It will open up new possibilities for the cooperation among researchers but also between researchers or research institutes and companies, municipalities, citizens etc. Open Science is present and effecting the entire research cycle. However, the discussions and actions still seem to revolve around open access publishing and data sharing. |

#DontLeaveItToGoogle: How Open Infrastructures Enable Continuous Innovation in the Research Workflow
Dr Peter Kraker, Open Knowledge Maps, Austria
AbstractClosed and proprietary infrastructures limit the accessibility of research, often putting paywalls in front of scientific knowledge. But they also severely limit reuse, preventing other tools from building on top of their software, data, and content. Using the example of Google Scholar, I will show how these characteristics of closed infrastructures impede innovation in the research workflow and create lock-in effects. I will also demonstrate how open infrastructures can help us move beyond this issue and create an ecosystem that is community-driven and community-owned. In this ecosystem, innovation thrives, as entry barriers are removed and systems can make use of each other’s components. Specific consideration will be given to open source services and non-profit frontends, as they are often overlooked by funders, but represent the way researchers engage with open science. Measuring FAIRness
Mark D. Wilkinson, Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain
AbstractWith the rapid and widespread adoption of the FAIR Principles, a range of stakeholders including scientists, publishers, funding agencies and policy makers, are seeking ways to objectively evaluate the “FAIRness” of digital resources – that is, the degree to which the resource is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. Implicit in this desire is the recognition that FAIRness is not abstract, but rather is something that can be objectively measured, and the means of achieving it can be defined by increased adherence to non-qualitative indicators. Spurred by these stakeholders, a self-selected group of the original FAIR Principles co-authors assembled the FAIR Metrics Authoring Group. This resulted in a set of semi-quantitative metrics having universal applicability for the evaluation of FAIRness, and a rubric within which additional metrics can be generated by the community. These were used to as the basis of a questionnaire that was undertaken by a variety of data hosts to self-evaluate their degree of FAIRness. In parallel, a software tool was designed that would attempt to validate their answers to the questionnaire in an automated manner by exploration of the (meta)data resource itself. The outcomes of this study provided us a general overview of the diversity of technologies and standards that were being used by resource hosts to achieve FAIRness. Using this as a basis, a second-generation of Metrics is now being designed that will perform fully-automated FAIRness assessments by testing a resource’s compliance with the best-practices we identified. In this presentation, I will discuss these second-generation FAIR Metrics, the community-driven process for designing new Metrics, the requirements of a FAIR Metrics Test, and The FAIR Evaluator software that executes compliance tests. |

The OpenAIRE Research Graph
Dr Paolo Manghi, Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell’Informazione (ISTI), CRN, Italy
AbstractThe mission of Open Science should be to invert the current trends and return scholarly communication workflows and scientific knowledge to the citizens, as public good. However, “open, distributed, trusted, transparent” are not properties of the graph of publication citations today. When it is trusted, it is not open and decentralised: “giant” enterprises (e.g. Elsevier, Google) centralize and dominate the market of any reliable discovery, monitoring, and assessment tools. When it is open and decentralised, it is not trusted: recently the choice of the Commission to choose Elsevier Scopus for Open Science monitoring is mainly justified by the absence of “open, trusted, decentralised” sources. This talk will present the OpenAIRE Research Graph as a mean and opportunity to grow a decentralised, transparent, trusted, open (CC-0), participatory, and global “Open Science citation graph”, with the vision of returning scholarly communication knowledge back in the hands of scientific communities and the general public. OpenAIRE services aggregate the Open Science citation graph by harvesting from publishers, data centres, thematic, institutional, software repositories; then enrich the graph with links via Machine-Learning techniques and input from researchers (ORCID); finally, re-distribute the resulting richer graph to the original sources, to ensure its long-lasting preservation, or to consumers willing to provide value added services.
