D6.1: e-Infrastructure Gap Analysis

The objective of this deliverable is to perform a gap analysis on technical and political barriers that prevent the interconnection of e-infrastructures and the application of the FAIR principles with the aim to guide the design of an architecture that will allow overcoming these gaps. The work is mainly based on a questionnaire sent to a set of e-infrastructures, to the Science Demonstrators and communities related to the long tail of Science. The analysis includes the technical aspects (authentication, authorisation, data, compute, network, core infrastructures and workflows management systems), the political, social and cultural aspects (access policies, knowledge of the e-infrastructures landscape, adoption) and, based on the analysis done, a first list of initiatives and projects to collaborate with.
