This document discusses different views on defining and mapping e-infrastructure in agriculture. It summarizes the European Commission's view of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and European Data Infrastructure (EDI) and how stakeholders like industry, scientific users, and the public sector relate to these. It also discusses the different components of infrastructure like communities, technical standards, business models and more. Mapping approaches are presented for identifying resources and services as well as the levels of "FAIRness".

1. eROSA has received funding from the European
Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation
programme under grant agreement No 730988
..towards an e-infrastructure for open
science for agriculture and food

3. It is based on and useful for a Community
It needs a business model and governance
for sustainability
A technical backbone that easily can host a
variety of services
a variety of services, useful for the
community, interoperable, but not
necessarily connected or dependent from
each other

Infrastructure has various components

The commissions view
▪ European Open Science Cloud
(EOSC)
▪ Integration and consolidation of e-
infrastructures
▪ Federation of existing research
infrastructures and scientific clouds
▪ Development of cloud-based
services for Open Science
▪ Connection of ESFRIs to the
EOSC

Mapping under e-ROSA
Provide a detailed, comprehensive overview of the current
landscape related to data science in agriculture
Identify main stakeholders and existing resources within the
e-ROSA scope that can support and benefit from the e-ROSA
community-building and roadmap elaboration process
Tell a story :
 Diversity of data types and resources to tackle the challenges of the
agri-food science
 Identify the gems : data, standards, services, expertise
 Help to identify our commons ….
