Societal challenges
The OpenBioMaps (OBM) is a free and open-source database framework for scientific and conservation purposes used for data management by nature conservation institutes, biodiversity research and citizen science projects.
EOSC-hub supporting services:
EGI Cloud Compute, EGI Online Storage, INDIGO IM, EGI DataHub, EUDAT B2DROP
Supported research community:
UNIDEB (University of Debrecen)
Partners:
IFCA, UPV, CYFRONET
Technical challenges
There are two main technical challenges for the openbiomaps project: First, to maintain an open and free biological database service, and; Second, to develop biological data handling software applications.
How EOSC can help and add value
This use case was facilitated by the EOSC-hub project via the following services: EGI Cloud Compute, EGI Online Storage, INDIGO IM, EGI DataHub, EUDAT B2DROP
Specific steps:
– Integration with the EGI Cloud Compute service, deploy and configure OBM node in test environment.
– Deploy the application automatically using INDIGO IM.
– Deploy OBM node to production environment and assess EGI DataHub, B2DROP and B2FIND
– Test the performance of the use case
