JRA2.1: Federated Open DataNA2.2: Strategy, Business Development and Exploitation SA2.7: LifeWatch Competence Center J.Marco Spanish JRU EGI-ENGAGE meeting Madrid, 23 Feb 2015
EGI-Engage: WP4 (JRA2) Platforms for the Data Commons TASK JRA2.1: Federated Open Data Design and prototype an Open Data platform as a solution to integrate various data repositories available in EGI, link them to the OpenAIRE. Analysis of open data use cases and requirementsAnalyse and support test use cases of open data from different data providers, including fishery and marine sciences, agriculture (Agri-Know) and biodiversity datasets. This will be expanded with additional communities according to the requirements collected from the competence centresDesign and develop the Open Data platform prototypeThe design will consider the possibility to integrate current EGI storage services into the platform backend.Open Data platform demonstrator The prototype of the Open Data platform will be demonstrated on resources provided by the NGIs that volunteered to offer capacity initial testing and feedback These providers are: CYFRONET (NGI-PL), IFCA (NGI-ES), CESNET (NGI-CZ). The list might grow during the execution of the project (IFCA, 4 PM)
Federated Open Data – Challenge • Opening up and linking the repositories to open data catalogues will contribute to the creation of a European linked data infrastructure for research enabling users to seamlessly discover and access available open data and processing them in the large scale computational infrastructure, creating a big data value chain. • The platform will enable the data owners making their data available publicly at the request. The process for publishing data may vary in complexity depending on aspects such as: size, type, retention polices and others. • Moreover it will optimize access to open data sets, making possible to access large-scale computation involving open data no matter where they are.
Federated Open Data Implementation • The Open Data platform will organize flow of the open data between EGI infra and the “outside” world. • The offered solution will be decentralized and will reduce barriers and effort required to publish or process open data. Comment: consider the complete data life cycle • Due to the limitation of the planned effort, the maturity of the solution will be at prototype level.
EGI-Engage:WP2 (NA2) Strategy, Policy and Communications TASK NA2.2 Strategy, Business Development and Exploitation • Cross-border procurement of e-Infrastructure services Goal: analyze opportunities and barriers for cross-border procurement of e-Infrastructure services and to identify best practices that could enable RIs or large research collaborations to acquire services to support their research agenda collectively. The report will be disseminated to relevant authorities at national and international level, including those involved in structural funding, and feedback will be collected. The activity will be led by CERN with the contribution of INGV (representing EPOS), CSIC (representing LifeWatch), BBMRI-ERIC, RBI (representing DARIAH) and EGI.eu (representing EGI and liaising with the NGIs). (IFCA, 3 PM)
EGI-Engage:WP2 (NA2) Strategy, Policy and Communications TASK NA2.2 Strategy, Business Development and Exploitation • Pay for use implementation EGI operates within a publicly funded research and academic environment providing services free at point of delivery with resources bought from grants dedicated to certain groups or disciplines either by direct allocation or by peer review. With the advent of cloud computing, business models and user expectations are shifting towards on-demand and pay-for-use service provision increasing flexibility and agility. This new paradigm provides motivation for EGI to explore new service definitions by enabling the possibility to provide ICT services that can be paid for the use, along with the more traditional procurement of resources to be managed and offered for free to the owners. This activity is closely linked to the EGI Marketplace and JRA1. (CESGA, 2PM)
LifeWatch Competence Center TASK SA2.7 LifeWatch (Lead partner: CSIC, M1 – M30) • The goal of the LifeWatch EGI CC is to capture and address the requirements of Biodiversity and Ecosystems research communities. • To achieve this the CC will • deploy cloud and GPGPU based e-Infrastructure services required to support data management, data processing and modelling for Ecological Observatories, • explore possibilities to increase the participation of citizens in data-intensive biodiversity research, • facilitate the adoption and exploitation of the EGI infrastructure by the LifeWatch user community.
LW-CC Deliverables & Milestones Assigned to SA2.7 • D6.1:Assisted pattern recognition tools integrated with EGI for citizen science (OTHER, M09) • D6.6 Data flow handler and basic R tools to integrate and process data from Ecological Observatories on EGI (DEM, M12) • D6.18 Report on the installed LifeWatch applications and their usage record (R, M24) Related to SA2.1 Training • M6.1 Joint training program for the first period is agreed M03 • M6.5 Joint training program for the sec. period is agreed M15
LW-CC Scope The proposal prepared in July included: • A support task from NGIs (ES,PT,IT) • Two lighthouse projects (24M): • Big Data and Ecological Observatories • Supporting Workflows & Virtual Labs in FedCloud for LifeWatch • A path finding project (12M): • Advanced Support to Citizen Science in Biodiversity 90 PM requested, EGI-Engage will fund 59 PM LIFE-WATCH related initiatives will complement in what possible NGI-ES 32 PM NGI-PT 9 PM NGI-IT 3 PM, CIBIO 3 PM VLIZ 6 PM INRA 6 PM
LW-CC & NGI-ES • Participants and proposed roles: • IFCA (5PM): global coordination and observatories • CESGA (5PM): support as NGI • UPV (11PM): workflows • BIFI (11PM): citizen science • Plan: • follow the LW-CC proposal • emphasis on EGI-Engage D6.1, D6.6, D6.18
LW-CCStatus • Initial steps: • J.Marco and F.Aguilar reviewed proposal • Contact with EGI.eu (G.Szypos), EGI • Observatories: • Meeting with VLIZ (F.Hernandez,January) and OBSN(F.Bonet, February) • Workflows: • Initial contact with UPV (I.Blanquer) • Citizen science: • Initial contact with BIFI () • Identified “simple” application: sound recognition • Next: • Discuss with other LW partners (CIBIO, INRA, …) this week in Malaga • Ready to start on 1st March • Applied to organize Data management session in Lisbon.
