General Project Information

  • Leader: Robert Lovas (NGI_HU)
  • Mailing List: vt-science-gateway-primer@mailman.egi.eu
  • Status: Running
  • Start Date: 16/05/2012
  • End Date: 31/12/2012
  • Meetings: see dedicated page

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 of software and hardware, visualization, resource discovery, job execution, access to data collections, repositories, applications and tools. 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 several communities build or would like to build science gateways for their members.

The EGI.eu User Community Support Team together with its partners from the NGIs and VRCs has already setup dedicated webpages to present basic information about ready to use science gateways and about science gateway enabling technologies for gateway developers. However, identifying the right set of technologies from this set, collecting and applying best practices and solutions to have a science domain specific gateway can be still a difficult task for some. This VT aims to help gateway developers and provide an 'EGI gateway primer', a manual that collects useful and up to date information from the EGI community about science gateway development.

Output

The expected outputs of the project are:

  1. Up to date and complete information in the EGI Application Database about EGI science gateways and science gateway enabling technologies
  2. Recommendations on how to improve the data structure of the EGI Application Database and the EGI website to better support science gateway developers
  3. A comprehensive document, an 'EGI gateway primer', that collects information about technologies, policies, solutions that exist from the EGI community for gateway developers.

Tasks

  1. Check, and if needed sanitise the information that is presented about science gateways and science gateway enabling technologies on the EGI website from the EGI Applications Database
  2. Make recommendations for data structure updates in the EGI Applications Database in order to better support science gateway users and developers
  3. Define the structure (Table of content) of the EGI gateway primer [Task leaders: Peter Kacsuk, Ricardo Graciani]
  4. Collect and integrate contributions in the EGI gateway primer [Task leaders: Peter Kacsuk, Ricardo Graciani]
  5. Promote the EGI gateway primer to existing and to new EGI communities
