TL;DR: The paper shows that using metadata with the appropriate metadata architecture can yield considerable benefits for LOD publication and use, including improving find ability, accessibility, storing, preservation, analysing, comparing, reproducing, finding inconsistencies, correct interpretation, visualizing, linking data, assessing and ranking the quality of data and avoiding unnecessary duplication of data.

TL;DR: The extent to which the VRE4EIC Metadata Portal addresses the challenges of cross-RI search, particularly in the environmental and earth science domain, is considered and how it can be further augmented, for example to take advantage of linked vocabularies to provide more intelligent semantic search across multiple domains of discourse.

TL;DR: An overview over the PaaSage project's approach to helping the developer in exploiting cloud environments according to their specific needs and requirements is provided.

TL;DR: A new platform is being developed in order to extend the functionality of the directory beyond that of the catalogue, and to make it easier to maintain and sustain.

TL;DR: Open Information Linking for Environmental RIs (OIL-E) was developed within the FP7 project ENVRI to provide a framework for semantic linking of knowledge resources used by different environmental RIs to act as a central exchange for linking information fragments and identifying gaps in the conceptual models of RIs.
