Description

This report serves as an update on the progress of WP3 Task 3.4 in ELIXIR3, in support of curation efforts on content in repositories of metadata, datasets, tools, training, workflows, and other resources, in line with the ELIXIR Platforms. The report documents progress made, methods used, and plans for the near future as of month 18 of a 48-month timeline.

ELIXIR Norway extends support to numerous internal and external service providers in Norway, in cases where the services have been accepted as ELIXIR Services. Being an ELIXIR Service comes with many advantages, from gaining exposure to a broader range of potential users to a raised profile throughout ELIXIR, that can help secure future funding, among other benefits. While these Services maintain specific operational responsibilities, ELIXIR Norway offers versatile infrastructure-related support. We provide a first-line helpdesk, potential Node e-infrastructure integration (where feasible), service monitoring, and metrics collection. Our technology hub further enriches this by imparting best practices and standards, and hosting workshops and conferences.

The inception of Task 3.4 is based on observations that most ELIXIR Norway Services do not promote available resources sufficiently, including relevant ontologies, essential repositories like Bio.tools and FAIRsharing, and key Services from other ELIXIR Platforms. The primary objective of the Task is to assist service providers, task forces, and other Tasks and work packages in effectively using available resources for maximum benefit. The work in this Task has been aligned with, and partially builds up on the work performed in the European context in the H2020 project ELIXIR-CONVERGE (February 2020 - July 2023) (871074).
