EOSC Data Commons_D4.1 Requirement analysis and specification_V1.0_Under EC Review

Key findings emphasize the necessity of fault-tolerant design prioritizing reliability particularly for compute-intensive operations such as embedding calculations for semantic search. The infrastructure specifications provide clear deployment pathways from beta environments to production configurations supporting 50-100 concurrent users. The implementation follows a phased development approach beginning with OAI-PMH harvesting capabilities and progressing toward comprehensive integration with Virtual Research Environments, enabling seamless transitions from dataset discovery to analysis execution within the broader EOSC ecosystem.
