EGI gateway primer ToC
Current ToC
1. Introduction
a. Some background and summary of current status
b. Mandate
c. Target audience
2. Definitions
a. Terms that are necessary to understand what we call a "Science Gateway”
b. Distinction between an "enabling technology", a "SG framework", and "SG instance"
3. For SG (framework) developers and maintainers
a. What it is their role
b. What it is expected from them
c. Who are these players in Europe and what are their production and in which maturity level (it could be just a list of pointers to the EGI App Database that is the result of the other Task in our VT)
4. For SG (instance) developers and operators
a. What it is their role
b. What it is expected from them
c. Who are these players in Europe and what are their production and in which maturity level (it could be just a list of pointers to the EGI App Database that is the result of the other Task in our VT)
These are just some ideas for the primer structure (to be refined later by the VT project):
- Building the gateway
- Planning and design of gateways
- Gateways characteristics
- Enabling technologies
- Connecting to EGI resources
- VO Portal Policy
- Job Submission mechanisms (robots, ...)
- Data storage and file management
- Operations and maintenance practices
- Integration of web-based gateways in EGI SAM central instance
- Security and accounting
- Sustainability
A list of established EGI policies is available in the EGI.eu Policies and procedures webpage. All relevant policies to the primer should be incorporated.
