There is a reasonable argument that the best way to design an interoperability standard for EOSC service catalogues is to look at what nodes are actually publishing before deciding what to mandate. So I pulled 239 service records from the EOSC Beyond sandbox, compared them against the EEN specification and a draft EEN-to-DCAT field mapping being developed within the working group, and mapped the…
The first EOSC catalogue hackathon proved federation could work. The second made it more real: messier, broader, and much more useful. With EOSC Beyond, Data Terra, ENVRI, EMBRC, EGI, GRNET, and the Life Science Connect node in the room, we moved from “can catalogues talk?” to the harder question: “can they understand each other well enough to build on?” This article is © Copyright Marcus…
Following on from the #EOSC hackathon I ran a few weeks ago, I thought I would write a brief implementation guide for any other nodes that want to try playing with what we did This article is © Copyright Marcus Povey 2008-2026

Writing code is not what a developer gets paid for in 2026, but that doesn't mean you can get away without knowing how to code. AI has disrupted the software industry. The code is getting cheaper. Judgment is not This article is © Copyright Marcus Povey 2008-2026
