OSTrails aims to improve the way we plan, track, and assess scientific knowledge. It wants to go beyond current methods, working with different countries and themes to make existing systems better and connect key parts for research and innovation (R&I). The goal is to create a practical, open, and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) system for European scientific research. OSTrails involves major players in Data Management Plans, FAIR Assessment Tools, and Scientific Knowledge Graphs to set standards and make data plans more efficient across Europe.
In collaboration with CESSDA ERIC, the Finnish Social Science Data Archive is actively involved in activities related to the SKGs interoperability framework and the OSTrails Interoperability Reference Architecture, as well as the alignment of SKG platforms, the enhancement of FAIR "assessment" with "guidance", and the development of Thematic Pilots.
