Proposals are expected to cover the following activities:

• Provide structure to manage, update, circulate and promote the EOSC Interoperability Framework and guidelines to support and enable interoperability within EOSC. Such a governance structure should include:
  • A high-level body that has the oversight and the responsibility for the EOSC IF, is formally responsible for endorsing new and/or deprecating guidelines into the EOSC IF.
  • Independent sub-groups that can assess that requests for inclusion into the EOSC IF are compliant with a minimum set of requirements namely: maturity, community uptake, the existence of a group that maintains the item that has been proposed for inclusions and some governing model that allows for its evolution.
• Coordinate the establishment of IFs and the making of existing IFs available through a library/repository, support the dialogue on establishing IFs. The EOSC Interoperability Framework governance should define:
  • A process for submitting, consulting and accepting guidelines/other frameworks.
  • A structured proposal template and library providing information about the EOSC IF and guidelines.
  • Community consultation to achieve ratification.
  • A registry/repository for accepted guidelines and frameworks, where artefacts will be curated using an agreed EOSC profile.
  • Publicity, documentation and training about EOSC IF.
• Support communities in making their IFs available through EOSC IF library.
• Provide organizational framework for establishing an independent, multi-stakeholder Architecture Board that can collect feedback and recommendations from the stakeholders, oversee and advice the EOSC MVE deployment and operation.
• Define processes and guidelines to enable EOSC Core delivery and to ensure openness of EOSC so that it can adapt with the evolving requirements of the EOSC stakeholders.
