EGI-InSPIRE EGI Applications Database (TNA3.4) William Vassilis Karageorgos, et al. Institute of Accelerating Systems and Applications (IASA) Greek Research & Technology Network (GRNET) April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 1 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

Introduction What is the EGI Applications Database (AppDB) ? [1] • A community service which stores information about • tailor-made scientific computing tools, and • the programmers and scientists who developed them • Descendant of the EGEE Applications Registry portal, developed and provided by INFN and IASA [2, 3] Main mission: raise awareness about software running on the European Distributed Computing Infrastructure (DCI), and thus • save research time by avoiding duplication of effort • facilitate the search for experts and knowledge exchange • inspire scientists less familiar with programming into using the DCI April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 2 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

Development highlights • Migrated data from the EGEE era • Adapted and transformed data according to EGI structures • Introduced researcher profiles • Enabled authenticated write-access via the EGI Single-Sign-On (SSO) system • Integrated Virtual Organization (VO) data from the EGI Operations Portal [12] • Exposed read-only RESTful web-API [4] • Provided a web-gadget for easy integration into 3rd party sites [5] April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 3 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

Guest Access Anonymous, read-only access to data about • Applications & Tools : name, description, abstract, discipline, publications, URLs, related VOs, list of associated researchers, etc. • People : contact information about researchers, list of associated application entries, publications • Virtual Organizations : basic data about available VOs and list of related applications • Statistics : access to graphs about applications or people versus various parameters, such as disciplines, countries, etc. April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 6 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

Authenticated Access • Single Sing-On (EGI SSO) • Registered users, among other, can • edit their profile • bookmark applications • register a new application • edit existing application data • add publication references • associate people to their applications • use inbox for system notifications and instant messaging • Editing privileges based on user’s role • Additional permissions may be granted per request April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 7 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

Access Rights The main traits of each role are as follows: • AppDB Administrator : Full access, reserved for staff • Manager : Full access, reserved for activity leaders • NGI Representative : Full access over entries listed under user’s country, intended for EGI national initiative representatives • Scientific Coordinator : Full access over entries to which user is listed as a contact • Developer : Full access on entries user has submitted All roles except “Developer” require verification from the AppDB staff April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 8 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

Researcher Profile View Researcher profiles are editable • by the users themselves • by NGI representatives of the same country as the user • by Managers who can also add new researcher profiles April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 13 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

VO Details View April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 14 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

Statistics • Application and people statistics • Per (sub)discipline, country, VO, etc. • Bar/Pie chart views • Image export to PDF/JPG/PNG/SVG • Data export to CSV/XML April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 15 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

Web Gadget • A good example of the RESTful API usage • On-line editor available from AppDB site [5] Simple three-step procedure to deploy: • Define presentation properties • Select data filters (e.g. specific VO) • Copy-paste produced HTML code into your site Instances of the gadget are currently in use by the Hellasgrid, GridPP , WeNMR, and EGI.eu web pages [6, 7, 8, 9] April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 16 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

Web Gadget Sample April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 17 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

Impact • More than 330 application & tool entries, and 540 researcher profiles stored, across 9 scientific domains, and 24 countries • Since the latest major release, mid-November 2010, more than 780 visits from 45 countries • Other projects such as GISELA [13] have declared there intention to share data and integrate • Through the use of the API and the Gadget, even more localized instances are expected to spring out April 2011 EGI User Forum 2011, Vilnius, Lithuania 18 EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu

Future Plans (2011) • Integrate with forthcoming EGI Community Software Repository, to link to the actual application S/W • Integrate with GOCDB to provide related NGI information about applications • Extended details in researcher profiles (e.g. experience, applications in use) • Grouping / tagging mechanism for application entries • QoI framework and user rating / reporting system • RSS feeds for (groups of) applications Note that all of the above are still subject to discussion and change.

Conclusion • Service in constant development • Working hard to address bugs, feature requests, and to provide more functionality • We believe that our work regarding two-way integration is in the right direction towards providing the end user with a sustainable, reliable, and complete result We are interested in your opinions and views, in order to keep the service vibrant!
