RIC & friends seminar
🐸 Sophie 🐣 - 06.07.2020
Topic of the day: ExPaNDS
- Some context
- What it stands for
- What we did so far and do right now
- How DESY > RIC > I are involved
Context
An experiment by Herr Röntgen in 1901: ~10 kB in 5 days vs. an experiment today by a fellow DESY user: ~750 TB in 5 days
- we need to share compute and storage resources
Peer-reviewed articles are among the most reliable sources of information
- we need tools easily available to reproduce scientific results
More and more researchers use several facilities for their research
- we need trans-facility search of data
AI is coming
- we need machine-readable and -understandable data
European Open Science Cloud
EU project with funding from the H2020 R&I program, to add to the EOSC services that are valuable to researchers
What is the EOSC right now?
A marketplace with linked services
no data yet
no data yet
Trying to get people on board
Trying to better showcase its added-value and potential
Photon and Neutron
+
= ~ whole European PaN community
Community standards and tools
- PaN data policy framework
- NeXus data format for neutron, X-ray and muon science
- UmbrellaID, a digital identity for PaN users
- PaN software catalogue
- PaN e-learning platform
Data Services
- Catalogue of available datasets and their location
- Catalogue of available data analysis services
- Correlation of which dataset works with which analysis service
ExPaNDS architecture
Data Services
A few prerequisite
- Have open data generated in the first place
- 3 out of our 10 facilities had 0 public datasets in Dec. 2019 [1]
- Make it FAIR
- 2 out of our 10 facilities minted DOIs for their datasets [1]
- 3 out of our 10 facilities used DMPs defining metadata standards and licences [1]
- Build the different stacks to abstract local catalogues and analysis services

Progress and ongoing works
FAIR
- Updating with PaNOSC the 2011 data policy framework to include FAIR principles
- Fostering its adoption by our facilities
- Working on PIDs for instruments (HZB)
- Working on maDMPs with RDA
Data catalogues
- Get a state-of-the-art picture of existing agreed vocabulary of techniques in PaN communities (e.g. Pankos, wayforlight)
- Investigate existing ontologies repositories (e.g. BioPortal)
- Survey researchers for their typical search use cases (results soon to be published in GitHub)
Data and analysis services catalogues
- Prepare the stacks to deploy the PaN portal at our facilities
- Select demonstration services to be implemented into EOSC, with matching datasets
- Serial crystallography: publication
- 4D full field tomography: publication
- Terahertz Spectroscopy: publication
ExPaNDS @DESY
- IT: Patrick, Sophie, Frank Schlünzen, new recruit with Michael
- FS-CFEL: Anton Barty, new recruit
- EUP: Beatrix Bugla
- V-D4: Carsten Porthun (DPO)
My contribution
- Make sure the quality of what we deliver meets the EU, and our own, expectations
- Follow technical and financial progress and try and make it consistent
- Provide internal communication channels
- Keep up with what's happening in the EOSC ecosystem
- Other projects doing work we could re-use
- Important documents we should give feedback to
- Conferences where we can (be) present
- Write things like project's DMP and POPD
