Current Developments
The developments we are currently working on are listed below.
- See: [GOCDB development items is available in the EGI RT ticket tracker]
- Also priortised in following doc: https://documents.egi.eu/secure/ShowDocument?docid=1997
Multiple Endpoints Per Service
Render GOCDB data in GLUE2 Format
Insert-downtime PI method
- [Not confirmed] Programatic/writable PI query to insert downtimes as an alternative to the portal GUI.
- Probably would use GLUE2 XML as message format (http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.209.pdf).
- RT: https://rt.egi.eu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=4935
- [Not confirmed] Support for VOs (maybe query SEs by supported VO)
- [Not confirmed] Regionalisation
- RT: https://rt.egi.eu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=2788
- GOCDB4 Regionalisation Status and Plans - More details on regionalisation and progress of Standalone deployments within NGIs.
- GOCDB/Release4/Regionalisation/Transfer_Mechanism
- GOCDB/Release4/Regionalisation/Data_Transfer_Format
- GOCDB/Release4/Regionalisation/PI_Updates
- [Not confirmed] VO Feed for ATP GOCDB/Release4/Development/VSites/VOFeedXML
- Use the Service Groups (VSites) to build a VO feed for ATP.
Support different AAI schemes
- Add support for Federated Identity Management (FIM) to allow authentication other than x509
- Extend the authentication system to simplify user-access: a modular architecture will be adopted to allow easy extension and integration with different AAI systems, especially for Federated Identity Management (FIM). This would also include an open-access mode allowing un-authenticated users to browse the public-facing services/resources in read-only mode (hiding selected/sensitive data).
Audit Trail
- History log, i.e. who did what and when such as updating data, approving roles (July 2015 - June 2016, EUDAT M4-M15)
Enhance Data Model
- Extend the data model to more effectively support clouds, virtual infrastructures new resource types, e.g. by supporting more attributes from the GLUE2 standard and the currently evolving GLUE2.1 cloud extensions.
Provide Service and ServiceEndpoint PIDs
- e.g. leverage the EPIC PID service (www.pidconsortium.eu) to assign PIDs to Services and Endpoints
- Creates a longtime stable and unique service-id, assigned when a new SE is created.
- ID could be resolvable such as the EPIC/Handle PIDs are.
- Provide at least one new specific PID field which can be entered by site (service-endpoint) managers.
Enhance UI
- Introduce a more capable MVC framework to improve the UI and user experience
Investigate Service Registry Requirements
- Investigate requirements for GOCDB as a public-facing service registry for science-applications, e.g. would need to cater for; un-authenticated users, service SLAs, pay-for-use details, service access/usage policies, service-capabilities, other extra info...
