Offer Description

OSTrails aims to revolutionise data management and integration in research. Its primary goal is to facilitate seamless integration and interoperability of research infrastructures with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). It will streamline FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) in the research ecosystem by embedding connectivity and actionability in the Plan-Track-Assess stages of research.

A key aspect of OSTrails is the development of methods, tools, services and the establishment of standards for Science Knowledge Graphs (SKG)1 and FAIRness measurements that enhance interoperability across a diverse range of fields within the research community. These standards will support the implementation of machine actionable Data Management Plans (maDMPs) that facilitate the automatic management of data and measurement of impact along the data life cycle.

OSTrails is committed to a co-design approach, ensuring that the tools and methods developed are practical and effective. To ensure co-design, 24 pilot projects will be implemented to validate, refine practices and standards and ensure that solutions are versatile and adaptable. The Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and Forecasting System (SOCIB) is leading one of the pilot projects. SOCIB pilot will establish an operational resource collection system that facilitates real-time support for glider operations and comprehensive data management throughout the data lifecycle.

SOCIB is a well-established Research Infrastructure. It is renowned for its commitment to ocean best practices, open data advocacy, and contributions to sustainable ocean research, particularly in the realm of autonomous platforms such as ocean glider measurements. With over a decade of continuous measurements from glider missions along the Balearic Channels, SOCIB has amassed a wealth of data that significantly contributes to oceanic research. Moreover, SOCIB has experience designing international digital ecosystems, particularly in projects involving Science Knowledge Graphs (SKG), as evidenced by its contributions to international projects like JERICO and Blue Cloud.

Looking forward, SOCIB has charted a strategic plan for the next decade 2024-2033, focusing on the integration of all components of its multiplatform observatory, data, predictive models, services and resources into comprehensive fit for purpose Digital Twins. Central to this plan is the automation of processes and the assurance of information reliability and eligibility. The OStrails pilot project is a crucial initial step towards the integration of processes, forming the foundation for the development of essential components and procedures key for the SOCIB Digital Twins. By undertaking this pilot, SOCIB is enhancing its own data management and integration capabilities toward the creation of ocean digital twins that integrate with other information providers as well as with international (e.g., DITTO) and/or european (EDITO) digital twins through the interoperability with EOSC.
