27 consortia and cross-cutting initiatives have now published their declaration on joint infrastructure development for the #NFDI ( National Research Data Infrastructure, i.e. the German contribution to #EOSC) :

The #AIRRCommunity has released v1.3 of their data schema for Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire sequencing data:

https://docs.airr-community.org/en/v1.3.0/standards/news.html

This is a big step ahead to facilitate #FAIR sharing of this data, as the current release now includes:

* a proper schema for study metadata
* an API for repositories (OpenAPI v2)
* support for ontologies

#AIRR #Immunology

A new (reverse) acronym to learn for data repositories: TRUST
(Transparency, Responsibiliy, User focus, Sustainability, Technology)

https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-020-0486-7

As I see it, this basically summarizes the criteria of #CoreTrustSeal for data repositories into a nice catch phrase. The criteria are not as well defined as for #FAIR, potentially because that's already part of CTS.

#cOAlitionS publishes new requirements for publishers regarding price transparency. Non-compliant publishers will not be eligible for OA funds after mid-2022.

PLoS is running a survey on the pleasures and pains of sharing scientific data. Still running until next week:

The #EuropeanCommission has awarded a contract to F1000 Research to provide a free (of charge) #OpenAccess platform for #Horizon2020 and #HorizonEurope funded research. Plan launch in 2021:

EOSC Secretariat published a 12-pager information booklet on EOSC:

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3716192

They are still not stating how they are going to build it, but at least they know want they want to have in the end 😀

Interesting proposal by @nicebread303@twitter.com
on combining Open Data and Open Source licenses:

I have some doubts however, whether the schema would be to complex to be applicable in a larger scale.

It's already some weeks ago that the #EuropeanCommision published its #EuropeanDataStrategy. Strong focus on #PSI and data from industry, research infrastructures like #EOSC are merely a side note. Nevertheless, the same challenges as for scientific data remain, so -- Lo and behold! -- Page 12 actually identifies the #FAIR principles as a generic strategy:

Better late than never: Germany is joining the European 1+Million Genomes Initiative:

Great talk about Secure Health Data Infrastructures by @msuhr . Abstract and slides can be found under https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/open_research_secure_health_data/

I'm at @fosdem this weekend, currently in the session on Open Research Tools. Three great talks so far, all analyzing the same deficiencies: training of scientists, sustainability of software, best practices in development.
Interestingly, no one presented the obvious solution so far: Research Software Engineers! 😉

We should work on our outreach!
