Abstract:
The European Plate Observing System (EPOS) has been developed over some years and is now in transition to full operational status. It currently offers a portal with access to more than 200 data services, the portals of constituent research communities and prototype access to a service for Trans-National Access (TNA) to equipment and sensors as well as access to information on the organizations and persons involved in EPOS together with research capabilities. From the beginning, EPOS was designed to support the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. This paper explains how the EPOS architecture meets the specifications of FAIRness.
