The basic metadata for all resources registered in the GraspOS infrastructure are stored in a set of core catalogues, each corresponding to a specific resource type (data, tools, services, and templates/guidelines). While the core catalogues can be accessed independently by end users, their contents are also accessible through the GraspOS infrastructure front-end, which functions as a powerful meta-catalogue .
The Data Catalogue (also referred to as the "Data Registry") stores and exposes basic metadata related to data assets within the GraspOS infrastructure and enables users to discover, understand, and search for them.
The Tools Catalogue component facilitates the discovery of GraspOS tools by collecting their basic metadata and integrating them with EOSC. Its implementation is based on a dedicated Zenodo community, called "GraspOS Tools".
The Services Catalogue component collects the metadata of all GraspOS services, which are pieces of software that provide functions or features for research assessment processes. The GraspOS Services Catalogue facilitates integration with the EOSC ecosystem.
The Templates & Guidance Material Catalogue collects basic metadata related to resources facilitating the research assessment process, including guidance documents, checklists, and indicator toolboxes.
Resource Metadata Schema
The GraspOS Resource Metadata Schema was developed by the GraspOS internal Working Group on Resource Metadata Schemas. Its main goal was to define a consistent set of metadata fields that describe diverse resource types relevant to research-assessment processes and support the development of the GraspOS infrastructure catalogues.
The schema is designed to include basic fields common to general-purpose scholarly catalogues (such as Zenodo or the EOSC EU Node Resource Hub), while also providing richer information to highlight attributes essential for the practical use of each resource and to enable advanced filtering features (called "exploration paths") that improve resource discoverability within the GraspOS infrastructure.
About the GraspOS project
The GrapOS project develops, assesses and operates an open and trusted federated infrastructure for next generation research metrics and indicators, offering data, tools, services and guidance.
