DiSSCo Transition: Distributed System of Scientific Collections Transition to ERIC Project

分布式科学收藏系统（DiSSCo）是一个泛欧研究基础设施（RI）倡议。DiSSCo旨在将来自23个国家的175个博物馆、植物园、大学和研究机构的自然科学收藏品汇集在一个分布式基础设施中，使这些收藏品在物理和数字上开放，并可供各种形式的研究和咨询使用。DiSSCo RI于2018年进入ESFRI路线图，并于2023年初成功完成筹备阶段。国际扶轮目前正在向其法律的实体（ERIC）的宪法过渡，并开始扩大其建设（实施）计划。DiSSCo过渡项目的主要目标是确保DiSSCo国际扶轮从筹备阶段无缝过渡到建设阶段（预计将于2025年开始）。在此过渡期内，该项目将在筹备阶段项目成果的基础上实现五个目标：1）推进DiSSCo ERIC进程并完成其政策框架，确保DiSSCo的顺利早期实施; 2）参与并支持DiSSCo国家节点加强国家承诺; 3）推进核心电子服务的开发，以避免在实施阶段开始前积累技术债务; 4）继续就提供DiSSCo服务所需的标准和最佳做法开展国际合作; 5）继续支持DiSSCoRI临时治理机构，并将其过渡到DiSSCo ERIC正式治理。该项目的影响将根据国际扶轮整体执行准备程度的提高来衡量。更具体地说，我们将监测其对IRL五个维度中的四个维度达到所需成熟度水平的影响，这些维度可以从进一步的发展中受益。其中包括组织、财务、技术和数据准备水平

The Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) is a pan-European Research Infrastructure (RI) initiative. DiSSCo aims tobring together natural science collections from 175 museums, botanical gardens, universities and research institutes across 23 countriesin a distributed infrastructure that makes these collections physically and digitally open and accessible for all forms of research andinnovation. DiSSCo RI entered the ESFRI roadmap in 2018 and successfully concluded its Preparatory Phase in early 2023. The RI is nowtransitioning towards the constitution of its legal entity (an ERIC) and the start of its scaled-up construction (implementation) programme.The primary goal of the DiSSCo Transition Project is to ensure the seamless transition of the DiSSCo RI from its Preparatory Phase to theConstruction Phase (expected to start in 2025). In this transition period, the Project will address five objectives building on the outcomesof the Preparatory Phase project: 1) Advance the DiSSCo ERIC process and complete its policy framework, ensuring the smooth earlyphase Implementation of DISSCo; 2) Engage & support DiSSCo National Nodes to strengthen national commitments; 3) Advance thedevelopment of core e-services to avoid the accumulation of technical debt before the start of the Implementation Phase; 4) Continueinternational collaboration on standards & best practices needed for the DiSSCo service provision; and 5) Continue supporting DiSSCoRI interim governance bodies and transition them to the DiSSCo ERIC formal governance. The Project’s impact will be measured againstthe increase in the RI's overall Implementation Readiness Level (IRL). More specifically, we will monitor its impact towards reachingthe required level of maturity in four of the five dimensions of the IRL that can benefit from further developments. These include theorganisational, financial, technological and data readiness levels
