  www.geant.org Mandated organisations • EveryMS & AC can mandate one organisation to represent national interests in the General Assembly • The Association currently has 26 mandated organisations • These members have more influence in strategic decisions which require 2/3 majority voting • Suggested that mandated organisations play a bi-directional role • Coordinate discussion and views from the country • Inform members on EOSC and help the Association to grow membership • Is a legal entity needed in Georgia to represent the community? 13

  www.geant.org www.geant.org • EOSC isworking at a huge scale – European and international • Domain infrastructure (e.g. CESSDA, ELIXIR), national infra and institutional RDM are just different levels of the “Commons” • Every level needs to interact via open APIs as far as possible • What we all need is a basic framework for Open Science that is pluggable and allows any type of services and data to be compiled depending on the context and user need. See RDA Global Open Research Commons Interest Group A vision for delivering the Open Science Commons (in general) 29 |

  www.geant.org www.geant.org • We allneed a core framework to connect all the elements which need to work together • This basic open science framework should allow all the systems, tools, workflows, physcial elements like storage etc to be brought together in a plug and play way • It doesn’t matter if those systems/tools/storage etc are public/free or commercial. The framework has to work with everything which the user needs • There should be two way connections between each element and the framework and between all the elements so researchers can compile their workflows i.e. pull in what data, what analysis tools, what storage and compute etc they need This is the vision of EOSC A plug and play OS framework to build any Commons 31 | Framework: architecture platform basic infra Tools Workflows Storage Systems XYZ……

  www.geant.org www.geant.org Focus on makingthings work in the context you have control over. If it works well locally then it will plug into EOSC in time when everything connects. Focus on providing meaningful support to researchers. Please note this is my personal opinion not EOSC Association or GÉANT endorsed… yet! Lesson for you in libraries and Georgia in general 34 |
