Research1 is an online community that allows
researchers to collaborate with peers, and share
information and digital media with the general public.
3
• Serve as a premier outlet for researchers to fulfill their public outreach requirements
• Foster interaction and communication between members of the public and researchers
• Provide a collaborative platform to teams who could potentially be geographically dispersed
Primary Functions
4
• Easily create a “Project Hub” that serves as a public-facing webspace for their work and/or a private collaboration area for team members
• Easily upload, store, tag, and publish digital media in multiple formats including video, audio, images and documents
• Publish a blog for the project to discuss ongoing work
• Interact with other researchers and the general public through project- and discipline-specific message boards, private messaging , grid toolkit, and IP-based videoconferencing
Core Features for Researchers
5
Growing population of “myspace-like” collaboratory
portals for e-Research. myExperiment, Sci-Vee,
EcoSpace, CalIT2 Research.Intelligence, ourSpace…
“Grid, Cloud, favorite buzz word
enabled” YouTube for research
Research1 – How is it different?Public facing, social interface to e-Research activities. Interoperate with e-Research portals – peer collaboration.Manage/deliver low bandwidth and high bandwidth essence objectsMulti-discipline yet research focused vs. “lost in theYouTube ether”
• Architectureo .Net , Web 2.0 platformo Federation serviceso Social serviceso Digital asset management/delivery serviceso Grid platform services
• Federation Serviceso Shibboleth
Leverage existing inCommon federationsUnaffiliated users – ProtectNetworksExploring other auth environments
o Data grid services – metadata/content sharing
• Affiliation and Content Assuranceo NSDL model, Peer Reivew, ????
• Social Services – Community Servero Enterprise level collaboration services
Forums, blogs, portal tools, reporting, …Access controls and delegation services …Large commercial and public install basehttp://communityserver.org
oWhy not Sakai, Confluence, et al?Integration with existing .Net tools/applications +Leverage existing .Net development expertise = Faster deployment with our existing resources
• Digital Content Management/Delivery Serviceso DigitalWell - Developed by ResearchChannel
• Extensible metadata, Advanced search • High bandwidth-Large footprint content• Capitalizes on R&E cyber-infrastructure
Sharing/Federation/Data Grid – SRB interconnect• WSAPI – portal development
o Open Source http://digitalwell.org
Next Steps …• Interoperation with grid environment
