Motivation
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 community-specific capabilities including workflows, virtualisation software and hardware, visualization as well as resource discovery, job execution, access to data collections, applications, tools for data analysis. A science gateway enables community members to define and perform custom research scenarios. Science gateways can hide the complexities of distributed infrastructures from researchers, therefore more and more communities build and would like to build science gateways for their members.
The User Community Support Team togehter with its partners from the NGIs and VRCs has setup dedicated webpages to collect basic information about ready to use science gateways and about science gateway enabling technologies for gateway developers. However, identifying and using the right set of technologies from this set, collecting best practices and solutions to create a science domain specific gateway is a difficult task. This VT aims to help gateway developers by providing an 'EGI gateway primer', a manual that collects useful information from the EGI community for science gateway developers.
Output
The expected output of the project are:
- Up to date and complete information in the EGI Application Database about EGI science gateways and science gateway enabling technologies
- Recommendations on how to improve the EGI Application Database and the EGI website in order to better support science gateway developers
- A comprehensive document, an 'EGI gateway primer' for science gateway developers that collects information about technologies, policies, solutions that exist from the EGI community for gateway developers.
Tasks
- Agree and define primer structure -
