D2.1

Identification of new functionalities

This report identifies the new functionalities to be added to the existent services and tools, taking into account the Use Cases described by the Research Communities represented as well as the findings of task T2.1 and the project Kick-Off meeting. It serves as input for the WP4 and WP5, indicating the missing features to be implemented during the project. Based on the inputs provided by the WP2 partners, D2.1 includes a general description of the communities involved in the project that aims to define the complexity and the heterogeneity of the environment. It also includes the definition of the different Use Cases with diverse types of details. In particular, the Use Case description identifies and analyzes the different data sources involved in terms of size, data types and/or formats, as well as the workflows and definition of the data lifecycle. Metadata management issues and other key actions like pre-processing needs, encryption requirements or data caching will have special consideration. The description also defines other transversal requirements like the use of Authentication and Authorization mechanisms or security and license needs. The Data Management Plans description showing its importance to produce FAIR data is included aiming at finding both synergies and gaps among the different communities. The document reports the goals oriented to Open Science and Data, so that requirements in terms of Digital Identifiers for digital object (including datasets, software, and others) are included. All the Use Cases take into account the different available products and to pre-defines those that could match to their needs.
