Abstract

The participating scientific communities in PUNCH4NFDI have long experiences with data collections which are often huge, compared to other NFDI communities, and also – from necessity – organized collective access to these data collections. The focus of the work, next to the questions of determining the common ground for identifying and finding the data across the existing community silos, is to make use of the vast experiences for operating collaborative execution environments for large distributed communities. Leaving the always implied questions of AAI and Identity Management aside, building and operating a distributed and heterogeneous execution environment is only feasible using an approach which borrows heavily from the notion of micro-services, with a few building blocks which serve as connecting elements.
