Open Call: Test the EOSC Data Commons Services
Currently not accepting new applications
EOSC Data Commons invites organisations outside the consortium to express their interest in testing the first release of its services: EOSC Matchmaker and EOSC Data Player.
This open call aims to engage early adopters and gather feedback to help shape the services as they mature. Participants will have the opportunity to explore new ways to discover, access, and integrate research data within the European Open Science Cloud.
What is being offered
Selected participants will be invited to test early versions of:
- EOSC Matchmaker, which supports federated discovery of research data and tools across disciplines using rich metadata and knowledge graph technologies.
- EOSC Data Player: after pairing a tool with a dataset using the EOSC Matchmaker, EOSC Data Player will create the necessary execution environment for the selected tool and dataset across a wide range of computing engines.
The focus of this first open testing phase is on discovery, metadata integration, and basic interoperability workflows, rather than full production-level integration.
Scope of the first release
The first public release in June 2026 supports the integration of data repositories that expose metadata via:
- OAI-PMH
- DataCite metadata schema
Repositories and services that rely on other interfaces, APIs, or implement different metadata standards are welcome to express interest. However, their technical integration will be scheduled for later releases of EOSC Data Commons services.
By clearly staging integrations over time, the project aims to ensure a robust and sustainable onboarding process while progressively expanding the range of supported technologies and communities.
