Description
Chair: Samuel Keuchkerian
European Research Infrastructures are facing growing demands for managing, storing, processing and analysing growing amounts of research data. For these purposes advanced e-Science and e-Infrastructure components are necessary. To assist the research infrastructures the ENVRI project "Common Operations of Environmental Research Infrastructures" has been set up. ENVRI is collaboration in the ESFRI Environmental Cluster, with support from ICT experts, to develop common e-Science components and services for environmental RIs.
In its third year, ENVRI is placing emphasis on ensuring sustainability of the common developments, focusing on sub-system interoperability, data discovery and access, and data integration, harmonization and publication.
ENVRI: Dealing with complexity in Environmental Research Infrastructures
This workshop gives an overview of the ENVRI project and its achievements. Emphasis is on the developed Reference Model a conceptual model that is used to describe computational aspect of research infrastructures. The ENVRI Reference Model provides common language and understanding, promotes technology and solution sharing, and improves interoperability.
ENVRI: Sustainability of Research Infrastructures
This workshop discusses challenges and opportunities in sustained operations of research infrastructures, especially concerning the solutions for data management and processing. The European e-infrastructures are a potential source of providing long-term services for research infrastructures. The perspectives from ENVRI Sustainability planning activity are reported and discussed together with views from service providers.
