Project

About

SciLake is a Horizon Europe Research and Innovation action project aiming to deliver technological solutions to facilitate the creation of Scientific Knowledge Graphs (SKGs) tailored for particular domains.

The knowledge extraction and management technologies to be delivered by SciLake can be suitable for adoption by GraspOS enrichment, monitoring, and data services. In addition, SciLake focuses on assisting domain experts in the creation of domain-specific SKGs. These SKGs can provide useful input for research assessment processes in the respective domains by helping to collect information about domain-specific contributions in research. 

Mutual Benefits

GraspOS can leverage various technologies developed by SciLake, particularly regarding knowledge extraction and management, to enhance its enrichment, monitoring, and data services. SciLake's focus on assisting domain experts in creating domain-specific SKGs can provide valuable input for assessing research contributions within those domains capturing valuable information for domain-specific contributions. Finally, SciLake's federated architecture can inform and influence the architectural design of GraspOS.

SciLake aims to deliver technological solutions for creating domain-specific SKGs, and GraspOS provides a concrete use case in the Research Assessment domain. This domain presents a compelling application for the SKG technologies that are the primary focus of the SciLake project.

The collaboration between GraspOS and SciLake is expected to yield the following outcomes:

  • Both projects will utilise and extend the SKG-IF data model to ensure interoperability between scientific data sources. This joint effort will help standardise SKG-IF extensions and will provide real-world use cases for SKG-IF extensions.
  • Avoid double efforts by aligning strategies, sharing insights, and co-developing solutions, leading to more efficient progress.
  • The federated architecture of SciLake will inform and influence the design of GraspOS.
  • The two projects are expected to share technologies, for instance SciLake datasets and tools could become part of the resources of the GraspOS ecosystem.

Joint activities

The technologies being developed by SciLake hold significant value in enhancing GraspOS services and infrastructure. Concurrently, research assessment presents an intriguing use case for the Scientific Knowledge Graphs (SKG) technologies, the primary focus of the SciLake project. Recognizing this mutual benefit, it appeared evident that close collaboration between the two projects was essential.

The joint activities which have already taken place are listed below. 

Workshop

  • EOSC collaborative frontiers to achieve interoperability and enhance scholarly data, EOSC Symposium 2024, 22 October 2024. Joint workshop with project representatives from GraspOS, FAIRCORE4EOSC, SciLake, and OSTrails who shared their insights into the specific applications of the Scientific Knowledge Graph - Interoperability Framework for data and metadata management, FAIRness, research assessment, and research discovery.
