ENVRI community, guided by the editors Zhiming Zhao and Maggie Hellström, worked hard on a 20-chapter book providing a systematic overview of the common challenges faced by research infrastructures. This highly anticipated publication explains how a ‘reference model guided’ engineering approach can be used to achieve greater interoperability among such infrastructures in the environmental and Earth sciences. Published by Springer, you can purchase the real softcover book in its book archive, or access its contents further below as the book is a Golden Open access publication under CC BY 4.0. The book is organized around five different parts focusing on the design, development, deployment, operation, and use of research infrastructures. Find the specific chapters further below.
