1. Break out group coordinator:
Design your e-infrastructure! Use case:
Break out group coordinator: …
Krakow, 27. September, 2016.

2. Group members
MUG VRE
Elixir AAI, Uni Barcelona, Supercomputing munich, MUG, SurfSARA, MaxPlanck, CERN (B2share)
Apologies for missing somebody

3. First break-out
Background and Users

4. Who will be the user? Can the users be characterised? How many are they?
Computational biologist and biologist,
Not strong technical skills
Requirements and challenges
Simplicity
Tested pipelines
Provenance data for software not only for data
Quality and optimisation Software – not always validated software for all aspects. Maybe a role for Elixir here?
1GB per week
Problem retaining data used for experiments –
Repository compatible with EBI
B2share with sparkQL end point
Get data distributed, just keep the metadata
Users credentials managed locally

5. What value will the envisaged system deliver for them (the whole setup)? What will the system exactly deliver to them?
Virtual research environment to integrate row data, tool to analyse them and a standard to define that the results are correct.
Data curation – some data is v curated, some others not (is lost after publication)
not fully automated, no option at the moment to comment on validity of data at a later stage.
Current software on simulated data hardly validated
Get a set of validated procedures across communities.
Join different communities

6. What's the timeline for development, testing and large-scale operation
What's the timeline for development, testing and large-scale operation? (Consecutive releases can/should be considered.)
Two years to go
A working infrastructure in 1y

7. Design and implementation plan
Second break-out
Design and implementation plan

8. What should the first version include
What should the first version include? - The most basic product prototype imaginable already bringing value to the users (the so-called Minimal Viable Product - MVP)
Need to solutions to pull data from experimental sites – at the moment use B2safe (archiving), but they want to also share what they have
Experimenting with GridFTP and Aspera
Hope to use data transfer from elixir and elixir AAI
Access data from different repositories
Need EGI cloud for computational and analysis, and EGI cloud needs data from EUDAT storage (beginning with B2safe)

9. Which components/services already exist in this architecture?
Adapt the tool that exist and put everything in production
Enable seamless process to link data with computing, basically between EUDAT and EGI.
Basic infrastructures already there

10. Which components/services are under development (and by who)?
Basic infrastructures already there
Adapting existing analysis tools
Needs for a repositories, not clear yet how this will look like
If possible Btshare could be reused
EUDAT interested in supporting the repository, even if B2share is not used
Ensure that data models are interoperable

11. Which components/services should be still brought into the system
Which components/services should be still brought into the system? Which EGI/EUDAT/GEANT/OpenAire partner can do it?
Transmitting Gbyte of data main problem,
Firewall, hospitals and commercial entities may be a bottleneck
Enable seamless process to link data with computing, basically between EUDAT and EGI.

12. Are there gaps in the EGI/EUDAT/GEANT/OpenAIRE service catalogues that should be filled to implement the use case? Which service provider could fill the gap?
B2share – no support for graph data
EGI – seamless linking services with EUDAT
Rely on research infrastructures to better serve the community.

13. Next steps
What, who, when …
