ARIA Access

System patches are being deployed after testing. We anticipate the platform to be running normally shortly!

The entire world is currently updating their libraries which has caused some delays patching our services. To protect people’s data we have temporarily disabled the platform. We expect to have everything back early tomorrow morning. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Due to a recently disclosed critical PHP vulnerability, ARIA and other digital services will be intermittently unavailable as we apply security patches.

ARIA is an important part of Instruct’s work to address this problem

marcus-povey.co.ukThe Second EOSC Catalogue Hackathon: Still Building, Now With More RealityThe first EOSC catalogue hackathon proved federation could work. The second made it more real: messier, broader, and much more useful. With EOSC Beyond, Data Terra, ENVRI, EMBRC, EGI, GRNET, and the Life Science Connect node in the room, we moved from “can catalogues talk?” to the harder question: “can they understand each other well enough to build on?”

Spent a little time this afternoon extending my eosc-node middleware to include a speculative @eosc-beyond.bsky.social to EEN service catalogue crosswalk. Should allow chaining to DCAT, which could be useful to some folks. Standard disclaimers and validation required. gitlab.com/aria-php/eos...

@instruct-eric.bsky.social forms part of the Life Sciences Connect Node (along with @elixir-europe.org , @embl.org and @eurobioimaging.bsky.social ), so this is an important step towards making our services available to the wider European scientific community.
