The Open Science Persistent Demonstrator (OSPD) aims to foster collaboration in Earth Observation research based on Open Science principles by facilitating the creation of readily shareable and standards-compliant workflows. The initiative is developing a persistent distributed infrastructure to improve the discoverability, interoperability, documentation, and archiving of data, processing services, and computational workflows. To achieve this, the OSPD combines a diverse community of platforms, workflows on Galaxy, OGC API standards, and the Open Science Framework, all introduced through a comprehensive training course. A major goal is to explore and demonstrate the interoperability between the Earth Observation cloud technologies developed by ESA and NASA.

52°North leads the task of exploring and realizing the integration of OGC API Processes into the Galaxy platform. Overall, the project runs for three years and consists of three phases, the first of which ended in 2024. Our team successfully developed a proof of concept for the integration of OGC API Processes into the Galaxy platform, which is already in use in the AquaINFRA research project.
