Project Summary

evozon modernized the INFRA-ART spectral library for the National Institute for Research and Development in Optoelectronics, transforming a legacy in-house research database into a scalable, FAIR-compliant, EOSC-ready open research platform. The engagement delivered a modular architecture, a public REST API, standardized metadata formats, migration of over 2,000 records with zero data loss, and a new frontend/CMS that improved usability and sped up content and metadata management. Project management was organized and transparent, and deliverables were completed on schedule.

Key Challenges

Implement a modern architecture aligned with the EOSC Interoperability Framework.
Provide a public REST API to enable interoperability and programmatic access.
Introduce a new frontend to simplify administration and improve the user experience.
Migrate a legacy, in-house research database while ensuring data integrity under modest project-dependent funding.

Project Deliverables

Modular architecture separating data, API, CMS, and frontend layers.
Public documented REST API enabling programmatic access and EOSC harvesting.
Standardized metadata and export formats aligned with FAIR principles.
Hosted infrastructure ensuring GDPR compliance and data sovereignty.
Migration of more than 2,000 spectral records with zero data loss.
New frontend and CMS for administration and metadata management.

Project Solution

Evozon performed a full architectural redesign to transform the INFRA-ART platform into a FAIR-compliant, EOSC-ready research infrastructure. They implemented a modular architecture that separated data, API, CMS, and frontend layers; built a public, documented REST API for programmatic access and EOSC harvesting; standardized metadata and export formats to align with FAIR principles; provided hosted infrastructure to ensure GDPR compliance and data sovereignty; migrated over 2,000 spectral records with zero data loss; and delivered a new frontend and CMS to simplify administration and metadata management.

Project Outcome

Transformed the INFRA-ART database into a scalable, EOSC-compliant open research platform.
Improved system performance and delivered a more intuitive user interface.
Simplified navigation and dataset discovery for end users.
Enabled faster content and metadata management for administrators via a new CMS.
Maintained organized, transparent project management with on-schedule deliverables.
