Following SEIS Principles for Better FAIR Data Integration in EOSC

Abstract

This study aimed to compare research trends regarding SEIS principles and FAIR data principles, in support of EOSC. Articles published in specific environmental policy areas, placed in the context of EU-Neighborhood South/East Regions Dialogue, were analyzed using content analysis. The evolution of EU interoperability was numerically classified in support of SEIS initiatives, compliant with FAIR principles, and able to benefit from the building of an EOSC community. The first proposed result refers to the extent of comparability of SEIS information storage and retrieval systems principles and FAIR data principles with respect to the implementation of the INSPIRE directive in Europe. This social comparison process occurred in two dimensions, trust concerning the resource FAIR and institutional loyalty according to SEIS. The relationships between SEIS and EOSC were estimated in its evolution according to five actions (cost, time, trust, best practices, cloud), and by exposing SEIS-friendly research infrastructures whose thematic data services points to the EOSC catalogue of services.
