​

Automated monitoring of structured data from the COVID-19 Data Portal

​

Managed central service and deployable infrastructure

​

Scalable via access to a global distributed compute network

​

• Data quality

​

• Uniformly analysed data for downstream analysis & visualisation

​

• Facilitate submission of data to public archives (ENA, EVA)

Not just workflows accessing and analysing data across disciplines

Not just the workflows available as managed methods across disciplines

But the infrastructure and technologies themselves

& the EOSC-Life Workflow Collaboratory

An ecosystem supporting distributed analysis through interfaces

Based on standards and proven technologies

Compatible / adaptable to sensitive data context

WorkflowHub Club : a open community effort

Project Governed as an Open Community

​

​

Join us on

https://about.workflowhub.eu/community/

​

Perpetual open development

Take EOSC to the user's tools.

​

Avoid reinvention: embrace community activities driven by the community.�

Be inclusive : Build it in isolation and make people come is not a good or inclusive strategy

EOSC is a means to an end, where the end is research

​

EOSC is research underware�the urge to expose the underware, however proud you are of it, should be resisted

​

Make it support the communities and “just there”
