PIDs as a cornerstone in actualising the FAIR principles within the LifeWatch infrastructure

  • 1. LifeWatch ERIC

Description

LifeWatch ERIC is a European Research Infrastructure Consortium dedicated to advancing e-Science research in biodiversity and ecosystem studies, supporting global sustainability challenges. Our mission involves uniting diverse scientific communities and creating a cutting-edge e-Science Research Infrastructure by connecting distributed observatories and research centers into unified accessible online platforms. A main component of our infrastructure, the LifeWatch ERIC Metadata Catalogue, underpinned by GeoNetwork, streamlines the management of metadata for various resource types, including Datasets, Research Sites, Services, Virtual Research Environments, and Workflows. It offers advanced search and user management functionalities, facilitating resource discovery and access control. Furthermore, we leverage modern semantic technologies, offering a transformative approach to comprehensively describe and interconnect diverse data sources, reducing barriers to data exchange among researchers. To achieve this, LifeWatch ERIC's EcoPortal plays a crucial role in ecological research, providing a Semantic Artefact Repository that consolidates core ontologies, domain-specific vocabularies, and reference lists. It offers essential services to facilitate seamless discovery and integration, exemplifying our commitment to advancing scientific collaboration and knowledge management.
