SciLake at EOSC Symposium 2024: Advancing Scholarly Data Interoperability

By Stefania Amodeo

The EOSC Symposium 2024 in Berlin marked a significant advancement in scholarly data management initiatives. SciLake, in collaboration with partners from GraspOS, OSTrails, and FAIRCORE4EOSC, convened in an unconference session to address critical developments in data interoperability frameworks. This blog post summarises the key takeways from the session.

 

During our workshop "EOSC Collaborative Frontiers to Achieve Interoperability and Enhance Scholarly Data," we explored the Scientific Knowledge Graph - Interoperability Framework (SKG-IF). This innovative framework, developed by the Research Data Alliance (RDA), represents a significant advancement in enhancing scholarly data management and interoperability within the EOSC ecosystem.

The session featured presentations from leading experts in the field:

  • Thanasis Vergoulis (Athena Research Center), who presented practical insights on implementing SKG-IF
  • Elli Papadopoulou (Athena Research Center), who discussed achieving FAIRness, interconnectivity, and machine actionability throughout the research lifecycle
  • Matt Buys (DataCite), who offered valuable perspectives from repository management
  • Andrea Mannocci (CNR), who examined the implications for research assessment

OpenAIRE's Giulia Malaguarnera moderated the discussion, which generated productive dialogue about the future of scholarly data management.

What We Achieved

Our session achieved three key outcomes:

  • We deepened the EOSC community's understanding of SKG-IF and its real-world applications
  • We created a space for productive dialogue about optimizing SKG-IF adoption
  • We gathered valuable community feedback to help align future EOSC project efforts
