Description

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), one of the pillars for the realisation of the European Strategy for
Data, is an ecosystem of research data and related services that will enable and enhance seamless access to
and reliable re- use of FAIR research outputs (including data, publications, software, etc.). One of the priorities
highlighted in the EOSC Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) is the establishment of the Web
of FAIR data and a Minimum Viable EOSC by 2027, featuring the core components and functions to enable
EOSC to operate. The development of the EOSC-Core was initiated in the Horizon 2020 calls which have
delivered a rich palette of use cases, demonstrations, data, services and tools. However, there are still
challenges that require to be addressed.

The FAIRCORE4EOSC project started in June 2022 and will deliver nine new EOSC-Core components in
support of a FAIR research life cycle, bridging the gaps identified in the EOSC SRIA. More specifically, the
components will enable an EOSC PID infrastructure, an EOSC research software infrastructure, support for
sharing and access to metadata schemas and crosswalks and offer advanced research-intent driven discovery
services over all EOSC repositories.

This deliverable summarises the technical status of the FAIRCORE4EOSC components and the functionalities
available in the Beta Release (M18). The report is based on the input received by WP2, WP3, WP4, WP5 and
WP6 via the milestones at M16. At M18 four components reached TRL7 and three at TRL6. The TRL levels of
the sub-components of the Research Software APIs and Connectors (RSAC) component are not averaged to
a single TRL level because the RSAC is not one component but are six independent developments for 6
independent services (2 scholarly repositories, 2 publishers and 2 aggregators). Next to an overview of the
technical status of the FAIRCORE4EOSC components it also provides an overview of the project high-level
roadmap and the status of requirements gathering process.

Finally, the report also includes a chapter describing the development activities planned between M18-M34,
including the activities planned in terms of integration with the EOSC-Core and between the components.
