Paper Abstract:
|
Virtual Research Environments (VREs) aim to support multidisciplinary research and collaboration between researchers,
but face great challenges from data heterogeneity, user experience issues, and fast changes to datasets. This complicates
research on multidisciplinary societal challenges. The objective of this paper is to present a reference architecture and
components that can be (re)used to construct a general, domain-specific or cross-domain enhanced VRE (e-VRE) that
enhances FAIR-ness of data and process interoperability across research infrastructures. The e-VRE makes it easier to
conduct multidisciplinary research by assisting the researcher in accessing and utilising the assets of research, commonly
stored in digital Research Infrastructures. The reference architecture also reduces complexity by interfacing with research
management systems. |
