Open Science: a Complex Resource System Shared resources Integrated, easy and fair access Engaged communities Participating in the process Culture of sharing Collaborating in the management and stewardship Governance Rules to access Rules to resolve conflicts Rules to balance quality vs. openness Financial support For long-term availability Research Data Instruments Digital services and applications Knowledge & Expertise 8
Commons Institutionalised community governance of the production and/or sharing of a particular type of resource (from natural to intellectual) GÉANT: European Communications Commons Constructing Genome Commons Wikipedia e-infrastructure Commons Linux Internet 9
Open Science Commons: Definition A set of interrelated resource systems governed as commons that support the open creation and dissemination of scholarly knowledge An area of study in the commons theory applied to open science Research Data Digital services and applications Instruments Knowledge & Expertise website: www.opensciencecommons.org - paper: http://go.egi.eu/osc 10
Developing an OSC (1): Governance structure and funding models Analyse governance structure of existing infrastructure/knowledge resource systems in open science Identify best practices and patterns for commoning Develop guidelines Define a multi-level governance European and national bringing together the different stakeholders including communities Identify funding models for sustainability and capacity building 11
Developing an OSC (2): Open Science Backbone The set of standardised generic ICT capabilities across countries and communities offering Compute/Data intensive capabilities Easy discovery, access, use and reuse of open data Shared capacity for RIs and long tail Supporting open standards (both API and data formats) Complemented by community-specific and communitymanaged services Research Infrastructures 12
Federated operations and support Service desk Monitoring and accounting Capacity management Service level management Developing an OSC (2): Shared Open Science Infrastructure Backbone Network of CSIRT Federated IdPs, Auth and Authz Management of different levels of assurance Research Infrastructures and long tail of science Research platform built on top of shared capabilities plus community owned resources Data products, tools, scientific gateways, virtual labs Multi-level governance with community participation Local National European Shared capabilities based on open standards Common national pools of resources From Member States Capacity dedicated to large RIs Free pools for long tail researchers Both pubiicly funded and commercial providers (all supporting open standards and no lock-in) Core capabilities Open Science Cloud (e.g., VM management, Data storage/access/disco very) PID Service registry and marketplace 13
Developing an OSC (3): Research data Stimulate the creation of public repositories of open research data Stimulate a culture of sharing and the right incentives to contribute and maintain Address legal and policy issues Prefer minimal IPR or non-exclusive licensing Many initiatives exist (e.g. RDA, CODATA) 14
Developing an OSC (4): Open Knowledge Hubs A coordinated network of competence centers Offering knowledge and expertise for scientific software, applications, tools Knowledge and expertise from a network of European training and education centres Scientific software is open, documented, discoverable, supported Support to access different capabilities (HTC, HPC, cloud, open research data, tools, applications, software ) Training and education from ESFRI RIs and VRE projects Distributed Competence Centres e- Infrastructure support and training Open Knowledge Hub 15
