Motivation
Access to the EGI e-infrastructure is possible through a range of different service interfaces. Science gateways are an emerging interface for communities to engage more actively with the e-infrastructure by enabling community members to define and perform custom research scenarios.
An EGI science gateway is a community-specific set of tools, applications, and data collections that are integrated together via a web portal or a desktop application, providing access to resources and services from the European Grid Infrastructure. These gateways can support a variety of capabilities including workflows, virtualization software and hardware, visualization as well as resource discovery, job execution services, access to data collections, applications, and tools for data analysis.
The e-infrastructure underlying science gateways is quite complex, and hiding it from researchers is not a trivial undertaking. As more and more communities build science gateways, a set of best practices starts to emerge (policies, technical approaches, ...), and should be re-used by gateway enablers. This is the motto to have a 'Science gateway Primer'.
Output
The expected output of this project is a comprehensive document, a primer for science gateway developers. These are just some ideas for the primer structure (to be refined later):
- 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.
Tasks
