1 EUDAT Towards a pan-european Collaborative Data Infrastructure - A Nordic Perspective? - Damien Lecarpentier CSC-IT Center for Science, Finland NeIC Conference Trondheim, 16 May 2013

2 Data trends Exponential growth Zettabytes Exabytes Petabytes Terabytes Gigabytes Increasing complexity and variety Where to store it? How to find it? How to make the most of it? 2

3 Collaborative Data Infrastructure -A framework for the future? - Data Generators Users User functionalities, data capture & transfer, virtual research environments Data Curation Trust Community Support Services Data discovery & navigation, workflow generation, annotation, interpretability Common Data Services Persistent storage, identification, authenticity, workflow execution, mining

5 Data Centers and Communities 5

6 Five research communities on Board EPOS: European Plate Observatory System CLARIN: Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure ENES: Service for Climate Modelling in Europe LifeWatch: Biodiversity Data and Observatories VPH: The Virtual Physiological Human All share common challenges: Reference models and architectures Persistent data identifiers Metadata management Distributed data sources Data interoperability 6

7 Selected services after 18 months Metadata Catalogue Aggregated EUDAT metadata domain. Data inventory Data Staging Safe Replication Simple Store Dynamic replication to HPC workspace for processing Data curation and access optimization Researcher data store (simple upload, share and access) AAI Network of trust among authentication and authorization actors

8 A pan-european Infrastructure general data centres community centres representing all the associated community data centres

9 A Nordic Collaboration in EUDAT? Three national centers (CSC, PDC, SIGMA) are already integrated DEIC has Observer status Several research communities are also active at Nordic level but no direct involvement of Nordic researchers yet. Can NeIC foster the participation of the Nordic representatives in EUDAT? 9

10 The case for Nordic collaboration Research in the Nordic countries is efficient and well supported R&D personnel as a % of persons employed R&D expenditure as % of GDP 3,5 3 2,5 2 1,5 1 0,5 0 FI IS SE NO DK GER FR UK ES EU27 It NL 4 SE FI 3,5 DK 3 IS 2,5 GER FR 2 EU27 1,5 UK 1 NL 0,5 NO ES 0 It Source: Eurostat 2011 Source: Eurostat

11 The case for Nordic collaboration but each Nordic country, individually, ranks low in terms of total research expenditure and capacity!

16 What role for NeIC? NeIC can act as a discussion platform providing a forum for Nordic e-infrastructure stakeholders to meet Collecting and analysing RIs e-infrastructure requirements Fostering dialogue and cooperation between RIs and e- Infrastructure providers to increase influence in pan-european RIs NeiC can act as an integrator by sponsoring joint pilots between Nordic communities and e-infrastructure providers to make the most of emerging pan-european infrastructures such as EUDAT Increase collaboration and synergies between sites and communities Increase the weight and influence of communities and sites in the infrastructure Bring greater benefits to Nordic sites and communities Nordic research communities and e-infrastructure providers will be stronger if they work together! 16
