Connecting ESFRI projects to EOSC through VO framework (CEVO)
Work Package 4 of ESCAPE, “Connecting ESFRI projects to EOSC through VO framework” (CEVO), plans to make the seamless connection of ESFRI and other astronomy and astroparticle research infrastructures to the EOSC through the Virtual Observatory framework.
The high-level objectives of CEVO are to:
- Assess and implement the connection of the ESFRI and other astronomy Research Infrastructures to the EOSC through the Virtual Observatory framework.
- Refine and further pursue implementation of FAIR principles for astronomy data via the use and development of common standards for interoperability including the extension of the VO to new communities.
- Establish data stewardship practices for adding value to the scientific content of ESFRI data archives.
Structure
CEVO is structured into three main tasks plus a management task. Here we provide a detailed description of the tasks, identifying the initial steps and the approach for tracking and modifying the tasks throughout the project. For each of the tasks we provide a top-level description (consistent with the proposal) and identify the sub-tasks involved, and tabulate the envisaged steps that are involved to carry out the task. The tables will be used to track progress and will be adapted according to changes during the progress of the project.
WP4 Lead: Mark Allen (CNRS-OBAS)
WP4 Support: Hendrik Heinl (CNRS-OBAS)
Task 4.1 - Integration of astronomy VO data and services into the EOSC
Task Lead: Marco Molinaro (INAF-OATS)
This task will identify the domain specific data access, discovery and manipulation standards and integrate them with the EOSC platform. The task will work on the provisioning and operation of dedicated customized EOSC services that implement the IVOA standards. In particular, this task will define the set of VO-enabled services to be included into ESOC by customizing EOSC services, with the aim of providing a high level of integration of VO tools, standards and best practices. A continuous analysis and integration, following the evolution of EOSC services and tools, is foreseen.
Task 4.2 – Implementation of FAIR principles for ESFRI data through the Virtual Observatory
Task Lead: François Bonnarel (CNRS-OBAS)
This task will identify the ESFRI needs for common standards to enable high level data products and archive services to be interoperable in the VO framework, so that they can connect to the EOSC through the VO. The task will support the adoption of the VO framework and participation in IVOA for the definition and updates of the necessary standards, in particular for the inclusion of new communities introduced by ESCAPE. A practical problem-solving platform will be established where VO expertise is shared and developed. The scientific community will be supported in the use of FAIR data via VO tools and services in training events, including new capabilities enabled by the inclusion in EOSC.
Task 4.3 – Adding value to trusted content in astronomy archives
Task Leads: M. Allen (CNRS-OBAS), M. Romaniello (ESO)
ESFRIs and astronomical data centres are developing the next generation of functionalities to create and publish high-level value-added data products. Stewardship involving the creation and publication of these data is necessary to ensure their quality as a trusted resource. The application of new techniques such as machine learning and analytics will provide new capabilities. A common data stewardship culture for data produced by the ESFRIs and those generated and deposited by the community will lead to optimal exploitation of ESFRI data.
