Abstract

European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is a pan-European environment providing researchers with a plethora or publicly-available, open resources and services to help them conduct their research. Availability of publications, datasets, computational power, networks or storage allows researchers to concentrate on their research rather than the technical infrastructures. However, the plenitude and diversity of items offered in EOSC increases and becomes overwhelming for researchers who expect guidance and support. Recommender systems allow them to assign rankings to subject object, based on their value for specific end users, inferred from diverse data about them, their behaviour or various relationships between users and objects. In this paper we present architectural and functional challenges related to the EOSC Recommender System that could substantially improve the experience of researchers using EOSC offerings.

Supported by the EOSC Future project, which is co-funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 Programme call INFRAEOSC-03-2020 – Grant Agreement Number 101017536.
