Developing a vision for maturing the Heliophysics infrastructure towards open science: The LIKED online resource and the DIARieS analysis ecosystem.
Abstract
The Heliophysics infrastructure is filled with a plethora of useful resources such as data archives, software packages, analysis tutorials, educational resources, related publications, and the people involved in developing these resources. However, these resources are not interlinked or interoperable, presenting a problematic barrier for progress towards open science in Heliophysics. We summarize a vision to address these barriers using currently available modern technology and techniques resulting in two new infrastructure components: LIKED, a LIbrary KnowledgE and Discovery (LIKED) online resource for finding and accessing knowledge and infrastructure resources; and DIARieS, an analysis ecosystem to simplify Discovery, Implementation, Analysis, Reproducibility, and Sharing (DIARieS) of scientific results and environments. LIKED addresses the findability and accessibility barriers for Heliophysics resources by building upon the successes of Wikipedia and the technologies supporting internet search engines (e.g. Google). DIARieS builds upon the new capabilities that will be possible through LIKED and various modern technologies (e.g. Kubernetes clusters and containerization) combined with innovative ideas to offer a viable solution for open science, including interoperability, reproducibility, and interactive dissemination. The creation of these new infrastructure elements requires coordination between various members and groups in the Heliophysics and related communities. We thus request feedback from the extended COSPAR community on this vision, and point those interested to the two related papers submitted to the 2022 COSPAR Space Weather Roadmap.
