IT architects, data scientists, and research infrastructure developers from around the world have shared lessons and perspectives while developing awareness of the potential for shared scientific resources at the The ENVRI Community International Summer School 2022.
Headlined “Road to a FAIR ENVRI-Hub: Designing and Developing Data Services for End Users”, the event took place in Lecce, Italy, from 10–15 July. It covered topics such as user interfaces, the packaging of services, the reusability and validation of services, and the building and supporting networks through the lens of the ENVRI-Hub approach.
The FAIR approach refers to the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets. The principles emphasise machine-actionability (i.e., the capacity of computational systems to find, access, interoperate, and reuse data with none or minimal human intervention) because environmental scientists increasingly rely on computational support to deal with data.
(Feedback from different people in the video: “makes it possible for data and metadata to be interoperable across different systems..:”)
Conclusion: Feedback from a participant detailing the tangible and intangible benefits, then a look forward to the expected outcomes, and the expected theme of the next conference.
