Challenges
exposing software and services in the cloud brings challenges and
questions:
Functional range of repository and its integration in EOSC
Administrative and legal issues
(A&A, licensing, preservation, provenance,…)
Efficient implementation of co-development, cross-fertilisation and
innovative approaches in software/service development
Harmonising the wishes/needs of the (ESF)RIs, the EOSC itself and its users

Interfaces to other WPs
E-OSSR strives to:
Establish a foundation to (co-)develop EOSC-ready software and services;
expose them to users via the EOSC catalogue of services;
E-OSSR does not focus on:
application of those services in the EOSC and integration to
portals/analysis platforms
Interfaces to:
WP1 for policy regulations
WP2 linking the data to the software/services
WP4/5 integrating the software and services in portals and platforms
WP6 for dissemination of achievements

(ESCAPE Executive Board)
Regular meetings of
entire WP (tri-monthly and adjacent time slots to our workshops)
WP lead group (bi-monthly and during workshops, before E-EB meetings)
Setup (and usage) of IT services (harmonised over ESCAPE)
