Service overview
Service nameENVRI Knowledge Base
Service areaA named group of services that offer access to the same type of resource (e.g. compute, storage, data, operations, training, coordination)
Service phase

Beta

Service descriptionHigh-level description of what the service does in terms of functionalities it provides and the resources it enables access to

Customer group

  • RI architects/developers,
  • Investigators into RI design or current RI assets and technologies.
User groupType of Individuals that primarily benefits from and uses a service
ValueThe benefit to a customer and their users delivered by a service; benefits are usually related to alleviating pains (e.g., eliminate undesired outcomes, obstacles or risks) or producing gains (e.g. increased performance, social gains, positive emotions or cost saving).
Tagline1-line value proposition (max XX words to be derived from value) 
Features
  • Uses Open Information Linking for environmental science research infrastructures (OIL-E).
  • Captures information about research infrastructure characteristics and design (“RI design wisdom”), structured according to ENVRI RM.
  • Captures information about technologies and standards used by RIs for key services.
  • Provided as an (RDF) knowledge graph, accessible via SPARQL requests over HTTP.
  • Permits analysis and comparison of RI characteristics.

Choose: Enabling or Enhancing

Definitions:

- Enabling service components are the minimum set of service components that make the service available

- Enhancing service components are any additional service components that improves the service, however, the service would still run without them, even if at lesser quality.

The ENVRI Knowledge Base should be maintained as part of the ENVRI community portal.
At end of project, the usefulness of aggregating design wisdom and technology landscape for RI should be evaluated and, if positively received, a recipe for provisioning new knowledge bases for similar cluster initiatives should be compiled and published.

[1] Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) are a method of estimating technology maturity of components during the acquisition process. For non-technical components, you can specify “n/a”. For technical components, you can select them based on the following definition from the EC:

  • TRL 1 – basic principles observed
  • TRL 2 – technology concept formulated
  • TRL 3 – experimental proof of concept
  • TRL 4 – technology validated in lab
  • TRL 5 – technology validated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
  • TRL 6 – technology demonstrated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)
  • TRL 7 – system prototype demonstration in operational environment
  • TRL 8 – system complete and qualified
  • TRL 9 – actual system proven in operational environment (competitive manufacturing in the case of key enabling technologies)
