Survey on metadata management and governance in EuropeSemic.eu
This document summarizes the findings of a survey on metadata management and governance practices in Europe. It identifies the most common roadblocks to effective metadata governance as lack of buy-in from management, lack of methodologies, lack of standards, and inadequate tool support. Case studies of metadata governance approaches used at various European and national institutions are also presented. Examples of good practices identified include distinguishing relevant roles, stakeholder involvement, balancing stability and flexibility, and use of standard reference data. Recommendations include formulating legislation at a high level, documenting processes, using open licensing, and assigning persistent identifiers. Next steps proposed are developing a metadata governance methodology and pilot projects to test it.
- The document summarizes a workshop about using Shibboleth federations to securely access spatial data infrastructure (SDI) resources through web services.

The European Open Science Cloud: just what is it?Carole Goble
Presented at Jisc and CNI leaders conference 2018, 2 July 2018, Oxford, UK (https://www.jisc.ac.uk/events/jisc-and-cni-leaders-conference-02-jul-2018). The European Open Science Cloud. What exactly is it? In principle it is conceived as a virtual environment with open and seamless services for storage, management, analysis and re-use of research data, across borders and scientific disciplines. How? By federating existing scientific data infrastructures, currently dispersed across disciplines and Member States. In practice, what it is depends on the stakeholder. To European Research Infrastructures it’s a coordinated mission to organise and exchange their data, metadata, software and services to be FAIR – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable – and to use e-Infrastructures, either EU or commercial. To EU e-Infrastructures offering data storage and cloud services, it’s a funding mission to integrate their services, policies and organisational structures, and to be used by the Research Infrastructures. To agencies it’s a means to promote Open Science, standardisation, cross-disciplinary research and coordinated investment with a dream of a “one stop shop” for researchers. And for Libraries?
EOSC-hub brings together multiple service providers to create the Hub: a single contact point for European researchers and innovators to discover, access, use and reuse a broad spectrum of resources for advanced data-driven research.

The document describes an Internet of Things (IoT) application framework that allows for dynamic service composition on mobile devices. The framework addresses issues with traditional IoT applications by allowing services to be composed at runtime rather than requiring explicit binding during implementation. This enables interaction between devices and applications without pre-defined bindings. The framework uses a service registry to discover IoT services and a composition engine to dynamically combine services into applications on mobile devices based on user needs and context.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
