Description
The D4Science infrastructure is currently supporting two eScience
communities, Environmental Monitoring and Fisheries and Aquaculture
Resources Management, by providing them with Virtual Research Environments
(VREs). VREs provide scientists with a dynamically aggregated environment
consisting of data, services and computing and storage capabilities.
D4Science builds upon the EGEE infrastructure and gLite technology to
promote data generation, integration, enrichment, and curation.
The objective of this talk is threefold: to emphasize the characteristics of
these large communities and their needs; to present the role of the
D4Science infrastructure that acts as mediator and facilitator for these
communities ; to speculate on possible exploitation of the SSC model to
formalize this mediator role.
