Those of the CETAF ESG members who are not directly involved in the DiSSCo Prepare project:

You are also warmly welcome to join this particular workshop (see below)!

Betreff: Invitation: GeoCASe in DiSSCo Task 5.4

Dear CETAF ESG members,

As most of you know, there is a task within DiSSCo Prepare that will deal with the integration of platforms into the DiSSCo Research Infrastructure (Task 5.4 starting in April 2021, led by Matt Woodburn NHM London).  
One of the pilots is focussing on the technical readiness and requirements of GeoCASe and the developments needed to increase its technical readiness for DiSSCo.

This week there is a session on this task in the DiSSCo All-Hand-Meeting and I would like to invite you as members of the CETAF Earth Science Group to join the meeting if you can find the time.

When: Thursday 21st January, at 10:45 - 12:15 CET

Where:  Zoom link will follow

I’m aware that not every one of you has access to the project management system used in DiSSCo, so please find the agenda of the session attached and the task description below.

Best regards,

Falko

Task 5.4 Modernising technical infrastructure for science data mobilisation and publication  [Starts April 1st, 2021 - Due July 31st, 2022]

The modernisation of key services, especially of services for data currently underdeveloped in the DiSSCo community, is of great importance for the overall improvement of the technical readiness level from the DiSSCo Research Infrastructure.
This task is focusing on construction plans for the improvement of technical infrastructure in the identified key areas of geo-collection data and taxonomic services. Geo-collection data are highly underrepresented in terms of available services for data mobilisation and publication. Thus, these services need special consideration in order to significantly increase DiSSCo technical readiness in the earth scientific domain. In addition, the harmonisation of life science taxonomic checklist services (e.g. Catalogue of Life) needs construction plans for the integration into DiSSCo architecture in order to exploit their full value as a taxonomic backbone.
This task will focus on the investigation of existing tools and provide necessary plans for seamless integration into the overall DiSSCo technical architecture.
