European Open Science Cloud
The European Open Science Cloud will offer 1.7
million European researchers and 70 million
professionals in science and technology a virtual
environment with open and seamless services for
storage, management, analysis and re-use of
research data, across borders and scientific
disciplines by federating existing scientific data
infrastructures, today scattered across disciplines
and Member States.

EOSCPilot
The EOSCpilot project has been funded to support the
first phase in the development of the European Open
Science Cloud (EOSC). It will:
Propose and trial governance frameworks for the EOSC
and contribute to the development of European open
science policy and best practice;
Develop a number of demonstrators functioning as
high-profile pilots that integrate services and
infrastructures to show interoperability and its benefits
in a number of scientific domains; and
Engage with a broad range of stakeholders, crossing
borders and communities, to build the trust and skills
required for adoption of an open approach to scientific
research.

Governance and Policy
The governance will need to accept policies reflecting
the community-based principles, rules and procedures
in place with built-in incentives for service provisioning
and sharing, and use and non-discriminatory policy-
based access; and policies defining the principles of
engagement for both service providers and users.
Services will need to conform to similar principles to
the FAIR principles for data, which would include
additional principles such as Managed (professionally
delivered and supported) and Sustainable.

Towards a Policy Framework for the European
Open Science Cloud
EOSCPilot Policy Workpackage aims to:

within the context of the European Open Science
Cloud
define relevant policy frameworks (specifications,
scope, recommendations and supporting
structures)

Open Science - Standards
What are currently the most felt obstacles for seamless offerings of e-infrastructure types (Computing,
Data Storage and Management and Networks)
Do standards for data and data-processing exist within the various e-infrastructure types that can be
mapped to one another in a standard way? Are these well documented and accessible?
What would be a good way of creating good practices and how should the process from de facto or
common practice to standard go?
Is there an ‘obstacle area’ where a first attempt can be made, and can we identify and convince the
stakeholders needed, to work on a first partial result to test the potential?
Can we think of a growth model, a snowball or waterfall effect, to get work done on other obstacle
areas based on the first experience?
Is the status of identifiers for people, organisations, resources and geo-spatial locations mature enough
to be used for interactions and processes within EOSC?
How should the code libraries, ontologies and best practice guides be published and managed?
What areas/communities/crossroads of communities would benefit most by adopting standards, why
hasn’t this happened, what can be done about it?
What are currently used standards, or accepted community standards? What specific standards (and
interfaces and integration services) do we know and do we need for the different research
infrastructure datatypes to make “FAIR” data routine
Do the answers to the above questions suggest directions/preferred outcomes that can be captured in a
set of policies? Are specific examples available?

Open Science – Data Stewardship
Data Stewardship is a ‘container term’ for services around curation,
provenance, and quality of data – what are the exact services we are
talking about when we say Data Stewardship?
How are community requirements re Data Stewardship defined and
prioritised?
What are the drivers/challenges for Data Stewardship services to be
established and run? What is the situation re required resources, skills
and expertise?
Who are/should be responsible to set-up and organise Data Stewardship
services
What business model is appropriate to ensure long term Data
Stewardship (curation, provenance, and quality of data) to a cross-
discipline, cross-nations community of data owners, and data users?
What are known principles/solutions for Data (or information)
Stewardship in other public and private sectors? What can we learn
from (international) airlines, insurance companies, police and security
organisations, retail and supermarkets

15
Open Science – IPR
Are IPR ownership rules clear (a) for researchers and (b) for RPOs (within a
consortium/ group)?
How difficult is to use material from different sources (e.g licensed, Public
Domain, closed, reusable etc) and how could the problem be tackled
(calculators, machine readable terms, smart licences, metadata)?
Do you think funders’ open licensing policies influence RPO’s research policies?
Who is/ should be responsible for the IPR management of an RPO (researcher,
TTO, central service etc)?
What is the knowledge level regarding protection options (e.g. patents,
copyright etc)?
Do you think protecting IPR interferes with licensing options? (e.g. patents vs.
open licences)
How do RPOs/ funders/ policy makers deal with (open and non-open) licensing
compatibility issues?
How restrictive should a licensing policy be?
How do you think legal cost issues should be addressed?

16
Open Science – Special Regimes
What is the level of knowledge re PSI in research related
organisations and the public sector?
What is the degree of PSI data coming through APIs?
How is the Service Level Quality, data quality and continuity
of services addressed?
How useful is PSI for different stakeholders?
Are parts of the work of an RPO under PSI rules (e.g.
library)?
Are PSI and Open Science policies aligned?
How difficult are access rules from multiple domains to be
followed (e.g statistical data, cultural data etc)?
Do you provide data/ content to Public Sector
organisations?
Are open by design rules and principles used in RPOs?

Data Protection
How aware are stakeholders (RPOs, Funders, Infrastructures) of the GDPR
and their implication?
Is Privacy by Design principle used in RPOs and eInfrastructures/ RIs?
How expensive is to follow Data Protection Rules?
Is Data Protection perceived as antithetical to open data?
How is consent managed in the Research sector?
Are consent management services offered?
Are data protection rules and processes aligned to Open Data policies and
ethics organisational arrangements and rules?
How useful you think personal data stores are?
Do you think adherence to GDPR will entail additional costs for RPOs?
How should RPOs/ Funders/ Infrastructures deal with personal data
transfer to third countries or the private sector?

Ethics – Regulatory Constraints and Data
Sharing Agreements
What terms and conditions concerning especially transparency are necessary in
a contract between the cloud service provider and the researcher to protect
individuals, whose data is processed and therewith reduce the risk of
researchers and cloud service providers of being legally liable to individuals?
What level of regulation in a contract between the cloud service provider and
the researcher is necessary to guarantee both an adequate protection of
personal data and freedom of choice and diversity of research?
What practical recommendations for supervisory bodies can you give to achieve
data security, confidentiality and responsibility during the processing of personal
data particularly regarding the reuse of data?
Which transparency measures do you suggest to introduce regarding
communication with citizens?
What kind of legal agreements could be used to detail the responsibilities of all
parties involved to underpin ethical commitments in data transfer, storage and
sharing?
Contracts in different scientific areas need to regulate different ethical and legal
points of conflict. How can computer-based contracts respond to these
differentiated requirements? What conflicts do you expect?
