One of the OntoCommons objectives is to leverage relevant ongoing efforts and create synergies by close cooperation with all relevant bodies and initiatives. Particularly relevant for this document, (which describes the work in Task 1.4) is establishing a cooperation with the European Open Science Cloud, relevant EU projects, RDA and FAIR communities. Actionable and useful resources depend on integration of ontologies with infrastructures.
Data infrastructures have become a key service for researchers and data professionals (Millerand & Baker, 2020). An important characteristic of data infrastructures is that they must accommodate not only the technical changes of working with data, but also the organizational changes.
In this document we describe the main components of a (data) infrastructure that can serve the OntoCommons community and not only. We explain, then, the state of matters with respect to European Data Infrastructure.
To interact with the relevant EOSC, EU projects, RDA and FAIR communities, we have established a Knowledge Exchange Space for Data Management and Documentation (KExS) which, currently, is manifested through a sequence of workshops and meetings attended by OntoCommons members and members of EU, EOSC, RDA, and FAIR related projects and initiatives. The document presents a snapshot of the work done in Task 1.4, which pursues close cooperation in infrastructures via EOSC, and EOSC related initiatives.
