[[Category:Community Engagement]]
The EGI Applications Database (AppDB) stores information about tailor-made computing tools for scientists to use, and about the programmers and scientists who developed them. The applications and tools filed in AppDB are finished products, ready to be used on the European Distributed Computing Infrastructure (DCI). Storing pre-made applications means that scientists don't have to spend research time developing their own software. Thus, by storing pre-made applications and tools, AppDB aims to avoid duplication of effort across the DCI user communities, and to inspire scientists less familiar with programming into using the European Distributed Computing Infrastructure.

About the AppDB Gadget

A Web-Gadget is offered to the NGIs, Virtual Research Communities, Virtual Organizations, or even to institutions and individual scientists. It provides data visualization for the AppDB web API result sets, paging capabilities and user defined search operations. The gadget is constructed in such a way, as to provide high usability to external web portals and can be configured to display specific information from the applications database, without any change to the structure of the host site.


The AppDB Web-Gadget Editor, an online configuration tool, has been also developed in order to assist the creation of your own instance of the AppDB Web-Gadget.

  • Display search: Select whether you would like to make the embedded search facility available through your AppDB Gadget instance.
  • Dimensions (W x H): The dimensions of your AppDB Gadget instance.
  • Title: The title that will be displayed into the generated AppDB Gadget instance.
  • Items per page: The number of applications that will be displayed per AppDB Gadget page.


Filtering criteria

The "filtering criteria" facility is used to select and display only a subset of the applications registered in the AppDB service.

NOTE: The selected applications will satisfy ALL the criteria set by the user.

  • If, for example, the VO value is set to "SEE" and the Abstract value is set to "meteo", then all the applications which are associated with the "SEE" VO AND have the word "meteo" within their abstract text, will be included into the generated AppDB Gadget instance.


The available filters are:

Filter Description
Name: Limit the fetched applications to those that their name contains or matches to the string provided by this filter.
Description: Limit the fetched applications to those that contains into their description field, the string that is provided by this filter.
Abstract: Limit the fetched applications to those that contains into their abstract field, the string that is provided by this filter.
