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

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]

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

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]

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

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.
