Towards a Reference Model for the LifeWatch ICT Infrastructure

: The LifeWatch Reference Model provides the basis for an interoperable ICT infrastructure for European biodiversity research building on standards whenever feasible. Distinguishing features will be support of workflow for scientific in-silico experiments, tracking of provenance, and semantic support for interoperability. This paper presents the key requirements and the key architectural concepts to satisfy these requirements.
