EOSC Components

The Compliance Assessment Toolkit will support the EOSC PID policy with services to encode, record, and query compliance with the policy. To do so, a wide range of compliance requirements ( TRUST, FAIR, PID Policy, Reproducibility, GDPR, Licences) will be evaluated as use cases for definition of a conceptual model. At the same time, vocabularies, concepts, and designs are intended to be re-usable for other compliance needs: TRUST, FAIR, POSI, CARE, Data Commons.

DTR enables the registration of PID metadata elements. This will allow a machine actionable standardisation of PID metadata.

The MSCR allows registered users and communities to create, register and version schemas and crosswalks with PIDs. The published content can be searched, browsed and downloaded without restrictions. The MSCR also provides an API to facilitate the transformation of data from one schema to another via registered crosswalks.

Support the harvesting of the PID Graph metadata. The API service and data dumps are made available for the community to ingest and reuse the metadata seamlessly. In addition, the component will focus on the interoperability framework for graph data exchange.

The PID Meta Resolver is a generalized resolver for mapping items into records. PIDMR will support researchers in their daily work so as to easily make use of the PIDs (resolution, metadata).

The RAiD provides persistent, unique and resolvable information for research projects. The EOSC RAiD will mint Persistent Identifiers for research projects, which will allow users and services to manage information about project-related participants, services, and outcomes.

The EOSC Research Discovery Graph Service (RDGraph) delivers advanced discovery tools across EOSC resources and communities. The RDGraph builds upon the EOSC catalogue’s content, extending it with additional entities like the Research Activity Identifiers (RAiDs). 

RSACs ensure the long-term preservation of research software in different disciplines. The component will improve interoperability between various infrastructures catering to research software.

The EOSC Software Heritage Mirror (SWHM) is a copy of the Software Heritage universal source code archive, operated in agreement with, but independently from the Software Heritage organization.
