D4.3: Interfacing EOSC Report (Release 1)

The Blue-Cloud Service platform will feature a variety of services that can be used for undertaking world-class science via the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) framework, by featuring leading operational marine research infrastructures and e-infrastructures. For that purpose, Blue-Cloud builds a service catalogue which will be integrated in the EOSC Portal. The objective is to identify the services enabled in the Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment (VRE), document these in a Blue-Cloud catalogue which then will be integrated in the EOSC service catalogue and made easily accessible to all EOSC users via the EOSC Portal Catalogue and Marketplace.

This deliverable illustrates the thematic catalogue of blue services in the Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment (VRE) and reports on the technical implementation done to enable onboarding of resources of the Blue-Cloud catalogue into the EOSC Portal. It includes details on the activities performed to ensure that the configuration, formats and metadata of resources are compatible with the requirements of the EOSC Portal. This enables and simplifies the process of onboarding Blue-Cloud resources into the EOSC resource catalogue.

While interfacing with the EOSC Catalogue will be described in detail and in greater depth in the second release of the deliverable, this document provides an overview of the different procedures for onboarding 'providers' and 'services' from the Blue-Cloud catalogue into the EOSC Portal Catalogue.
