  1. Vision and Ambition for LifeWatch ICT Infrastructure Axel Poigné (Fraunhofer IAIS) Vera Hernández-Ernst (Fraunhofer IAIS) Alex Hardisty (Cardiff University) Hans Voss (Fraunhofer IAIS) Walter Berendsohn (BGBM)

  2. What is LifeWatch? • A European Research Infrastructure forBiodiversity Research (ESFRI –Project) • Distributed observatories / sensors • Databases, processing and analytical tools • Computational capability and capacity • Collaborative environments • Support, training, partnering, fellowship

  3. 5 M€ ~ 386 M€ Status: The LifeWatch Timeline 1995 2005 2008 2011 2016 Earlier projects Conception Preparations Construction Operation & Evolution 2008 2009 2010 Politicalcommitment initial decision final decision Construction ‘blue print’ logistics construction

  4. Status: The Preparatory Project • 8 countries • negotiating • the start-up Contracted participants Countries Scientific networks 27 executive partners Other partners Data networks International infrastructures User sectors Industry

  5. Vision: the LifeWatch ICT Infrastructure shall … • be a federated Europe-wide distributed system • be an interoperable access (and publishing) mechanism of data and services from a variety of sources • Be a mean of processing and scaling-up biodiversity data • Support the fulleLablifecycle • be a collaborative environment • be a one-stop portal application • provide computational resources (Grid / Cloud) • … For scientists: provides the means for in-silico science

  6. … support the eLab Lifecycle (*) Discovery Acquistion (*) De Roure & Goble, "Software Design for Empowering Scientists," IEEE Software, vol. 26, 2009 Preparation/Cleaning Lifecyle Transformation/Fusion Provenance Security/Access Identity & Naming Interpretation Dissemination Curation

  7. … a collaborative environment (*) AdHoc Software (http://www.gridwisetech.com)

  8. Challenges(and solutions) • HETEROGENEITY of the community’s requirements, its data resources and tools • GAP between current practice and future vision • SCALE of implementation of a pan-European infrastructure, €386m, >25,000 users • PACE of innovation in ICTs • FIT with mainstream industry and Higher Education / Research sector directions for ICT service

  9. Challenge of HETEROGENEITY: Interconnected nature of biodiversity ideas, outputs, repositories From Peterson et al (2010), Syst Biodivers 8(2), 159-168From Guralnick and Hill (2010), http://www.slideshare.net/robgur/ievobio-keynote-talk-2010

  10. Solution for HETEROGENEITY: SOA approach First level of Interoperability by relying on standards and rules

  11. Geneticknowledge bases Other subdomains OMIM … NCBI Taxonomy GO Model organisms FMA Genome annotations Anatomy Solution for HETEROGENEITY: Semantic interoperability through knowledge management Clinical repositories Addison's disease (id:363732003) SNOMED CT UMLS UMLS Biomedical literature MeSH C0001403 Addison Disease (id:D000224) Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) from: Olivier Bodenreider, Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Comunications, Bethesda, Maryland, USA

  12. Challenges(and solutions) • HETEROGENEITY of the community’s requirements, its data resources and tools • GAP between current practice and future vision • SCALE of implementation of a pan-European infrastructure, €386m, >25,000 users • PACE of innovation in ICTs • FIT with mainstream industry and Higher Education / Research sector directions for ICT service

  13. Challenge of SCALE: Users and data generators in the large Networks of Excellence Terrestrial Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites Natural science collections Marine reference and focal sites + • - Climate data • - Soil data • - Space observation data • - Socio-economic data • - . . .

  14. Challenge of SCALE:Distributed System Construction LifeWatch ICT Infrastructure LifeWatch Developer

  15. SCALE solution:Thinking globally, acting locally • Organisation • Top-down financial and legal governance model • Project Office • Technical direction and governance • LifeWatch Reference Model • Processes to support compliance • Bottom-up community governance model • Core ICT infrastructure • Management of the product • Product Management Board & Release strategy • Support to the community • Service Centre(s), Technical operations support

  16. 5 challenges(and 5+ solutions) • HETEROGENEITY of the community’s requirements, its data resources and tools • GAP between current practice and future vision • SCALE of implementation of a pan-European infrastructure, €386m, >25,000 users • PACE of innovation in ICTs • FIT with mainstream industry and Higher Education / Research sector directions for ICT service

  17. PACE solution:Divorce functionalities from technologies • LifeWatch Reference Model

  18. Example: Catalogue Service OGC/INSPIRE conformant

  19. The Ambition : A Solid Construction Virtual Collaborative environments Provenance Workflows SemanticMediation Annotations Computational Resources Publication Catalogue(s) Access to external Services Security Portal A A A Services

  20. Outlook • LifeWatch shall enable a new level of Biodiversity Research
