SoBigData
SoBigData Research Infrastructure creates tools and services to give researchers and innovators a platform for the design and execution of large-scale data science and social mining experiments. Exploiting supercomputing facilities, the platform is open to users with diverse backgrounds and accessible on cloud.
The SoBigData RI Preparation Phase Project (PPP) is the preparatory phase of the SoBigData RI in the ESFRI RoadMap 2021. The SoBigData RI PPP will advance the RI from simple awareness of ethical and legal challenges in social mining to the development of concrete tools that operationalize ethics with value-sensitive design, incorporating values and standards for privacy protection, fairness, transparency, and pluralism.
The main objectives of SoBigData RI PPP are to define operative strategies for:
- Modeling and definition of the ERIC legal entity, then acquiring legal status;
- Preparing the financial, legal aspects (for both central hub and national nodes);
- Producing and reviewing a Business Plan for long-term sustainability;
- Engineering, planning, and optimization of technical infrastructure;
- Defining strategies for services design, community involvement, and partnerships with third parties.
Smartlex’s Role
Smartlex is leading the legal work package to set up the governance infrastructure, to give a long life to a cutting-edge multi-node, international research infrastructure. Smartlex will participate with Scuola Superiore di Sant’Anna, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, University of Aquila, and University of Leibniz Hannover, along with other top European university partners in the consortium.
Smartlex will create the Statutes and legal documents for the establishing of the ERIC in addition to the HR policy and guidelines for the research infrastructure to follow during its lifetime to ensure HR compliance.
