General Project Information

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.
Output
The expected outputs of this project are:
- Scope and structure of the Compendium
- Definition of the functionality of the tool enabling the stakeholders to update the information anytime
- Launch of the first iteration of the EGI Compendium
The analysis of the collected data and revision of the revision of the questionnaire for next year will be performed either by a follow-up project or internally in EGI.eu
Tasks

Progress
The VT completed all the actions and launched the data collection on 25/Mar/2012 with a dedicated survey; the invitation was sent to the 38 EGI.eu participants/associated participants (EGI Council contacts and NILs where available). The deadline for filling the questionnaire is 27/Apr/2012
