Description

Contemporary research is collaborative with contributors at a wide geographic spread and often includes multi disciplinary teams. Science Gateways have become a potent method for research communities to come together and share tools, data and other artifacts in a common collaborative environment. We present a new science gateway platform - OneSciencePlace®, a content centric and composable online platform to transform delivery of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable content and computing in a single and easy to use environment. The platform includes a host of features:

  1. An app registry with a set of software applications that are readily usable on various computation resources. Both interactive (such as Jupyter, Matlab) and command line Apps can be supported.
  2. Curated data such as input configurations and output results for Apps.
  3. Online, web-based, workspaces for collaboration, training, and teaching. Apps, data and other content can be restricted to projects or shared with everyone.
  4. Publishing capability that enables users to publish ancillary information such as reports, data and other content with a persistent identifier such as Digital Object Identifier.
  5. Users can easily use available apps, data, and publications or contribute new ones via a web browser. For instance a new app can be contributed by uploading Docker or Singularity containers with necessary configurations and pairing them with the appropriate available computational resources.
  6. A website that provides the above capabilities to all registered users via single sign-on from various institutions.

These capabilities allow an instance of OneSciencePlace to be highly customized for different use cases such as Science Gateway, a High performance computing cluster portal, a data repository, a knowledge base and others. OneSciencePlace speeds up cyberinfrastructure delivery, accelerates community building and aids in impact measurement. OneSciencePlace provides a team science platform that brings computing, data and people together in a common web based environment.
