Session Abstract
In the digital landscape of research data management, Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) play a crucial role in enhancing the discoverability and accessibility of academic outputs. This session will explore the multifaceted framework of PIDs and their impact on research findability.
The session will begin with an exploration of the Research Activity Identifier (RAiD), emphasizing its significance in linking research activities and outputs. Following this, a presentation on the necessary EOSC-compliant PID policies tailored for Data/PID Managers will ensure that data integrity and discoverability are prioritized. Practical guides will be offered for national initiatives and service providers, facilitating the effective adoption of PIDs within institutions. Delving deeper into the technical aspects, the role of RDGraph in integrating PIDs to improve findability in discovery systems will be discussed.
The session will culminate in a dynamic panel discussion involving key stakeholders and experts, fostering interactive dialogue on the opportunities and challenges surrounding PID implementation and compliance with EOSC PID policies. Participants will explore future prospects for enhanced discoverability and resolvability. This collaborative session aims to deepen understanding of PIDs as essential tools for research infrastructure, ultimately paving the way for innovative solutions and improved data management practices.

-
Session Abstract
This joint plenary session will highlight the transformative contributions of FAIR-IMPACT and FAIRCORE4EOSC projects to advancing FAIR principles in the domain of semantics: metadata & ontologies, mappings, and research software. The session will open with a keynote from a distinguished expert reporting on the current status and challenge related to the topic within EOSC. The core of the session will feature presentations on key achievement related to theme of the session from the two projects, including guidelines for Research Software Metadata, recommendations for FAIR Semantic Artefacts and FAIR mappings as well as development and setting up of concrete services such as the MSCR and the DTR from FAIRCORE4EOSC and multiple semantic artefacts catalogues from FAIR-IMPACT. The session will conclude with a forward-looking panel discussion, exploring lessons learned, assessing the alignment of outcomes with EOSC objectives, and identifying priorities for future research. This plenary session offers a unique opportunity to reflect on achievements, evaluate the impact, and collaboratively envision the future of FAIR-compliant and semantically enabled science within EOSC.

- 16:30 - 18:00 I for Interoperability: from technical to legal interoperability | Plenary Room: Madurozaal
-
Session Abstract
Solving the I of FAIR is probably one of the biggest challenges in adopting and implementing FAIR practices. While many research communities have existing practices to manage interoperability within their domain. The significant challenges start when research data and other artifacts need to be shared across domains. And this sharing across domains will only increase because most of the societal challenges (e.g. climate change, health, environment, energy transition and artificial intelligence) require cross-domain solutions.
Interoperability is not only a technical challenge but more frequently a challenge on the semantic, organizational, and legal level. Even when you have solved all technical interoperability challenges it does not mean researchers are able to interpret research data (e.g. semantic interoperability), have access (e.g. organizational interoperability) and/or are allowed to use/reuse the data and under which conditions (e.g. legal interoperability). The EOSC Interoperability Framework from 2021 addresses these challenges at the conceptual level. For the implementation level additional effort in the form of recommendations, guidelines, best practices, prototyping etc.
FAIR-IMPACT has been addressing interoperability through four interoperability layers (i.e. legal, organizational, semantic and technical) from a FAIR interdisciplinary perspective. FAIRCORE4EOSC has been developing components supporting FAIR and interoperability across PIDs, metadata schema’s, vocabularies, knowledge graphs and quality research software.
In this session we are focusing on how to bridge between the legal, organizational, semantic, and technical (LOST) interoperability stack and explore future ways to support an interdisciplinary approach for a FAIR EOSC.Chairs:

Are the FAIR principles enough for reusability?
What questions about Reusability have you always wondered about but never dared to ask? In the session R for Reusability, we delve into the question: Are the FAIR principles enough for reusability? This is not your standard panel discussion, but a more interactive format where you get to know your neighbours and ask the hard hitting questions to our panel of experts. We will reflect on our own services and solutions (e.g. Research Software Metadata Guidelines, F-UJI, Compliance Assessment Toolkit, and more) and consider what they contribute to Reusability, opening up to critical questions, suggestions, and considering use cases from you.
