Activities
The Service Centre provides the interface with the Biodiversity Scientific Community, identifying the needs of multiple user groups from different domains and areas of interest, and coordinates the development and operation of the related services.
In addition, the Service Centre assists in deploying the services provided by the LifeWatch-ERIC Research Infrastructure, including those enabling the discovery, visualisation, and download of data and applications for the analysis, presentation and modelling of scientific topics.
Thus the Service Centre identifies new data resources and incorporates vocabularies, semantics and services in order to aggregate a broad range of data. It also optimises access to and use of Service Centre facilities as a whole, and offers web-based tools to facilitate Social Networking and Social Learning (including e-Learning).
Lastly, since the Service Centre is responsible for communication activities, it promotes awareness of LifeWatch-ERIC among potential users and the general public, and enhances the visibility of its scientific outcomes by publicising and disseminating them.
