About the pilot

Description of supported work

OpenRiskNet is providing an e-infrastructure to the communities involved in safety assessment, including toxicology and especially predictive toxicology, systems and structural biology, bioinformatics and its subtopics toxicogenomics, cheminformatics, biophysics and computer science specifically targeting the EU’s chemical manufacturing industries, e.g. pharmaceutical companies, chemical and agrochemical industries and cosmetic industries, and the corresponding regulatory agencies. 

During the lifetime of OpenRiskNet (2016-2019), 45 services were integrated, that can be grouped into seven categories: 1) Toxicology, Chemical Properties and Bioassay Databases, 2) Omics Databases, 3) Knowledge Bases and Data Mining, 4) Ontology Services, 5) Processing and Analysis, 6) Predictive Toxicology and 7) Workflows, Visualisation and Reporting. The service integration also included the development of workflows to support the case study work by automating complex tasks only achievable by the combination of multiple services. Additional services will be integrated over time to complete the portfolio to allow full risk assessment of chemical compounds and nanomaterials. This is specifically supported by the infrastructure project NanoCommons developing, and harmonizing such services for the nanosafety starting community represented by the projects of the EU NanoSafety cluster.

Objectives

• Integrate and enlarge the catalog of available OpenRiskNet/NanoCommons services within the EOSC marketplace
• Integrating EOSC AAI system in OpenRiskNet services
• Making the OpenRiskNet infrastructure fit for integration in EOSC Cloud Compute and Storage services
