Research Data Infrastructures (RDIs) play an important role for the adoption of the Open Science paradigm and the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data principles.
At the European level there are already many disciplinary-specific RDIs such as EPOS and EMSO ERICs, and support to the establishment of a data ecosystem is guaranteed by many dedicated projects, many closely linked to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) funds projects such as GeoSciences and MEET to help develop robust RDIs in Italy too.
RDIs manage and share research products following international standards, not only data, but also tools supporting researchers in the data management and collaborative analysis. RDIs cover the entire data lifecycle and so they require dedicated policies and workflows.
The updating of data, metadata, interoperable services, software, and related documentation needs considerable effort and requires the involvement of new profiles such as data managers, data stewards, and data analysts. Furthermore, dissemination to various stakeholders, including citizens, is crucial for their involvement and support.
Researchers are invited to describe experiences on sharing and use of data, metadata, interoperable services, tools, software, and documentation adopting well-established open standard.
