The FAIRCORE4EOSC project focuses on the development and realisation of core components for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), one of which is the EOSC Research Activity Identifier Service (RAiD).
The RAiD provides persistent, unique and resolvable information for research projects. It is an editable information record, which is issued with a persistent identifier (DOI). This combination enables curation of digital objects by multiple actors, over time, whereby changes to the information record do not require versioning of the DOI.
Mutual Benefits
GraspOS considers the RAiD as an appropriate technology to implement concepts such as the Assessment Portfolios, or the GraspOS Assessment Registry, as it enables the systematic cataloging of assessment actors, documents, and evidence. The RAiD technology underpins three services developed in the GraspOS Open Science Assessment Framework (OSAF): Openness Profile, Assessment Portfolio, and Assessment Registry.
Since RAiD is a relatively new initiative, there is a crucial requirement for use cases to demonstrate its value and aid in gathering requirements from real-life scenarios. GraspOS is well-positioned to offer such use cases by implementing RAiD profiles capable of gathering information for research assessment events.
This collaboration is expected to pilot OSAF services in support of GraspOS pilots, establishing the basis for future Open Science-aware responsible research assessment services.
