- Full Text: The Rules of Participation for EOSC must be based on the diverse mix of infrastructure and tools currently in use to enable service providers from all sectors to be part of EOSC. The Rules should ensure that services are FAIR-compliant and use open APIs and interchange standards. Action 27.1: The Rules of Participation for EOSC must be consulted on widely, drawing in views from a broad range of stakeholder groups beyond the core European research infrastructures and e-infrastructures to include research communities, institutions, publishers, commercial service providers and international perspectives. Action 27.2: The resulting Rules must be fit-for-purpose to enable existing data services and capacities developed by different communities to be exploited for best return on investment. The Rules should be reviewed regularly to ensure they remain viable. Action 27.3: The EOSC governance board should ensure the FAIR criteria are addressed in the Rules of Participation so the services provided in EOSC form part of the global FAIR data ecosystem.
