Short Description
OpenModeller is a generic framework that includes various modelling algorithms and which is compatible with different data formats. Its functionality is available through command line, desktop and web services interfaces, allowing integration with other specialized services that could help for example finding input data for the modelling process. The CRIA institute in Brazil operates an openModeller server. The server implements the openModeller web service API and runs as a CGI application. The use case aims to virtualise this openModeller server and then setup and operate an instance of it in Europe using resources from the EGI Federated Cloud and from the EGI Service Availability Monitoring infrastructure. The virtualised instance would serve the Biodiversity Virtual e-Laboratory (BioVel) that supports research on biodiversity issues using large amounts of data from cross-disciplinary sources. BioVeL offers the possibility to use computerised ‘workflows’ (series of data analysis steps) to process data, be that from one's own research and/or from existing sources.
