InfraScience is a research group of the National Research Council of Italy - Institute of Information Science and Technologies (CNR - ISTI) based in Pisa, Italy. This report documents the research activity performed by this group in 2023 to highlight the major results. In particular, the InfraScience group engaged in research challenges characterising Data Infrastructures, e-Science, and Intelligent Systems. The group activity is pursued by closely connecting research and development and by promoting and supporting open science. In fact, the group is leading the development of two large scale infrastructures for Open Science, i.e. D4Science and OpenAIRE. During 2023 InfraScience members contributed to the publishing of several papers, to the research and development activities of several research projects (primarily funded by EU), to the organization of conferences and training events, to several working groups and task forces.Source: ISTI Annual Reports, 2023

A taxonomy of tools and approaches for FAIRification
Mangione D., Candela L., Castelli D.
The FAIR principles have drawn a lot of attention since their publication in 2016. A broad range of stakeholders is confronting the implementation of these guiding principles in diverse contexts.This paper identifies and discusses the tools and approaches emerging from stakeholders' experiences adopting the FAIR principles in practice. In particular, 225 open access grey literature papers (namely, deliverables, milestones and data management plans) on FAIRification have been scrutinised to infer tools and approaches in use. The wealth of emerging tools (477) has been carefully analysed and organised into a comprehensive map highlighting the significant classes of instruments supporting FAIRification. A critical discussion on this collection of tools and approaches and the FAIRification completes the paper.Source: IRCDL 2022 - 18th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries, Padova, Italy, 24-25/02/2022

Research workflows and Open Science
Candela L., Castelli D., Mangione D.
The open science paradigm is increasingly praised and encouraged for improving efficiency through deduplication of efforts and for ultimately accelerating scientific discoveries. Such shift towards a collaborative and inclusive scientific process implies an alteration of the traditional research workflows to include the different dimensions that characterise the new paradigm, from open access to new assessment metrics. This systematic study analyses the open science research workflows proposed so far, highlighting (i) their distribution over time, (ii) the various means and approaches used for communicating them, (iii) the terminology used for denominating them, and (iv) the scientific domains where workflows were proposed. Moreover, the workflows were analysed and compared concerning a set of open science aspects deriving from the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science. Overall, a total of 40 relevant studies were identified and analysed, corresponding to 33 unique workflows. The findings highlight (a) the limited effort spent by the research community to propose and communicate workflows oriented to match open science requirements, and (b) the different nuances of the meaning and understanding of open science and the resulting gap between its theoretical aspects and its practical application to the research processes.Source: ISTI Technical Report, ISTI-2022-TR/026, 2022

Comparison of federated solutions for distributed infrastructures
Candela L., Castelli D., Mangione D.
Federations are an effective mechanism for jointly contributing to a service offering, integrating resources provided by the different federation members. As the open science and the open innovation paradigms are increasingly pursued at the European level, the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) has been envisaged as a federation of systems for creating a solution fully supporting the research data life cycle across borders and disciplines. This study analyses the federation approaches and solutions adopted by 11 of the major European federated research infrastructures (CLARIN, D4Science, EGI, ELIXIR, ENVRI, EPOS, Gaia-X, GEANT, GEOSS, OpenAIRE and PaNOSC) selected for their representativity following their service offering type and thematic area of expertise. A classification of federated and federating services is proposed in order to highlight the action areas that are to be considered when pursuing the creation of a federated infrastructure with the objective of enabling open science and open innovation.Source: ISTI Technical Report, ISTI-2022-TR/024, 2022

Research infrastructures: an Open Science quandary
Candela L., Castelli D., Mangione D.
Open science is a disruptive phenomenon characterised by multiple dimensions encompassing the whole research workflow. The magnitude of the changes entailed by the open science paradigm on the research processes requires the research infrastructures to adapt for addressing the technological needs not only of researchers, but of all the stakeholders involved. This study analyses the open science aspects affecting the research workflow and proposes an open science workflow that is then used as a model for examining how the service offering of 11 of the major European research infrastructures (CLARIN, D4Science, EGI, ELIXIR, ENVRI, EPOS, Gaia-X, GEANT, GEOSS, OpenAIRE and PaNOSC) relates to the open science paradigm. In light of the different aspects that characterise open science, a comparative analysis of the 11 service offering is presented and the gaps highlighted.Source: ISTI Technical Report, ISTI-2022-TR/025, 2022

Virtual research environments ethnography: a preliminary study
Arezoumandan M., Candela L., Castelli D., Ghannadrad A., Mangione D., Pagano P.
Virtual Research Environments, Science Gateways and Virtual Laboratories are systems aiming at serving the needs of their designated communities of practice by providing them with a working environment for performing their tasks. These systems have been proposed and exploited in diverse application domains and scopes ranging from education to simulation, collaboration, and open science. This paper analyses the literature published from 2010 to start characterising this manifold family of systems. In particular, the study identified and analysed a corpus of 1167 research papers to highlight their distribution over time, the most frequent publication venues and the characterising topics.Source: IWSG 2022 - 14th International Workshop on Science Gateways, Trento, Italy, 15-17/06/2022
