Proposals should address all of the following activities:

• Contribute to the consolidation of an interoperable ecosystem of PID Infrastructures based on open specification and standards to support machine actionability and offer sufficient flexibility and capacity e.g. by developing a common PID ‘meta resolver’ and standardised interfaces and open protocols for exchanging information on PIDs to support the creation and use of a PID Graphs.
• Develop EOSC PID services to address a wide variety of applications appropriate to community needs.
• Develop schemas and APIs based on open specifications and metadata framework as well as related crosswalks for improved discovery and interoperability.
• Develop and deploy a flexible and scalable federated search service across the EOSC repositories, exploiting the aforementioned building blocks. Such service should ensure customisability of querying and, when possible, ranking of queries results according to FAIRness of data and other prioritisations responding to the users’ needs.
• Develop services and tools to archive, reference, describe and cite research software, based on standards and common practices of the different disciplines.
• Develop services that build on metadata registries, starting from those that support communities in the uptake of metadata schemas and crosswalks and facilitate their maintenance; services to validate data sources against metadata schemes and to monitor data sharing, notably across communities and disciplines, are also expected.
