Recommendations for interoperability among infrastructures

The BiCIKL project is born from a vision that biodiversity data are most useful if they presented as network of can be integrated and viewed different starting points. BiCIKL’s goal to realise by linking infrastructures, particularly for literature, molecular sequences, specimens, nomenclature analytics. To make those links we need better understand the existing their limitations, nature hold, services provide how interoperate. In light aims, in autumn 2021, 74 people community engaged total twelve hackathon topics with aim assess current state interoperability between infrastructures holding data. These examined several angles. Some were research subjects required get results, some modalities access use implementation standards, while others tested technologies workflows improve linkage types. issues regard uncovered participants inspired formulation following recommendations related (1) brokers, (2) building communities trust, (3) cloud computing collaborative tool, (4) standards (5) multiple access: If direct cannot supported explore using brokers store Cooperate open simple way allow two-way without having co-organize many organisations Facilitate encourage external reporting infrastructure its interoperability. requests new features Provide development roadmaps openly mechanism anyone ask help Discuss an forum cloud-based environments contribute test changes Consider opportunities brings means enable shared management infrastructure.
