AquaINFRA

The AquaINFRA project aims to develop a virtual environment equipped with FAIR multi-disciplinary data and services to support marine and freshwater scientists and stakeholders restoring healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters. The AquaINFRA virtual environment will enable the target stakeholders to store, share, access, analyse and process research data and other research digital objects from their own discipline, across research infrastructures, disciplines and national borders leveraging on EOSC and the other existing operational dataspaces. Besides supporting the ongoing development of the EOSC as an overarching research infrastructure, AquaINFRA is addressing the specific need for enabling researchers from the marine and freshwater communities to work and collaborate across those two domains.

A specific goal of AquaINFRA will be to develop an EOSC based research infrastructure combining the marine and freshwater domains, which will include the development of a cross domain and cross-country search and discovery mechanism as well as building services for spatio-temporal analysis and modelling through Virtual Research Environments. A set of strategic use cases including a Pan-European use case as well as more focused use cases in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the Mediterranean will provide the setting for co-designing and testing services in the targeted research communities.

The AquaINFRA project results are expected to contribute to the utilisation of EOSC as an overarching research infrastructure enabling collaboration across the domains of marine and freshwater scientists and stakeholders working on restoring of healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters.

AquaINFRA项目旨在构建一个配备公平的多学科数据和服务虚拟环境，以支持海洋和淡水科学工作者及相关利益相关者恢复健康海洋、海域、沿海及内陆水体。AquaINFRA虚拟环境将使目标利益相关者能够存储、共享、访问、分析和处理来自自身学科、跨研究基础设施、学科以及国家边界的科研数据及其他研究数字化对象，利用EOSC及其他现有运营数据空间。除了支持EOSC作为综合性研究基础设施的持续发展外，AquaINFRA还针对海洋和淡水研究群体在两个领域内开展工作和协作的具体需求。AquaINFRA的一个具体目标是开发一个基于EOSC的研究基础设施，融合海洋和淡水领域，这包括开发跨领域和跨国界的搜索与发现机制，以及通过虚拟研究环境构建时空分析和建模服务。一系列战略用例，包括一个泛欧洲用例以及在大西洋、北海和地中海等更具针对性的用例，将为在目标研究社区中共同设计和测试服务提供环境。AquaINFRA项目成果预期将为EOSC作为综合性研究基础设施的利用做出贡献，从而促进海洋和淡水科学家及利益相关者恢复健康海洋、海域、沿海及内陆水体领域的协作。
