Helix Nebula - Interoperability Task Force - Organisational and Semantic

Mailing List: HelixNebula-Interop-Org-TF@mailman.egi.eu (subscribe)

Purpose

The implementation of an effective service architecture calls for redefinition of roles and responsibility and also for potential changes in business practices and procedures. The task force is asked to provide input and suggestions on requirements needed to achieve effective deployment of Helix Nebula and interoperability among publicly funded e-Infrastructures and commercial providers in the following areas (not exhaustive list):

• Uniform access to service catalogues
• Uniform processes to request/allocate/consume/pay services
• Common change management processes
• Harmonised user management processes
• Contract management
• Service Level Agreements
• User support

It is also important that, in the processing of information from external sources terminology used keep a meaningful significance. The meaning of exchanged information has to be clearly and unequivocally understood and preserved throughout exchanges between parties. The task force is asked to identify (not exhaustive list):

• agreed processes and methodologies for developing semantic interoperability assets;
• agreement by sector-specific and cross-sectoral communities on the use of semantic
• interoperability assets at EU level
