Roadmap Information for Resource Providers

RPs use the Integration Badges UI in the Operations Dashboard to follow an interactive resource integration process, where:

• They can view roadmap and badge information.
• Leadership can enroll a resource in a roadmaps and plan badges using the summary information below.
• Implementors can perform the tasks for planned badges by following task instructions links.

Users will view badge availability information in the ACCESS Resource Catalog, where:

• They can access badge functionality using a resource specific Button and Access URL, or
• The Default badge access button and URL shown below when a resource specific one hasn't been set.

ACCESS Science Gateway

Infrastructure Type(s): Science Gateway Roadmap RP Summary: A science portal or science gateway is a community-developed set of tools, applications, and data integrated through a web-based portal or a suite of applications. They provide access to tools used in cutting-edge research – telescopes, seismic shake tables, supercomputers, sky surveys, undersea sensors, and more. These gateways often connect diverse resources and make them easily accessible, lowering the barriers traditionally required to access these resources. This roadmap integrates a science gateway service (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_gateway). Science gateways provide web-based interfaces that link advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) components to enhance usability. The CI components linked by a science gateway differ based on specific user community needs, but can consist of one or more of the following components: High performance computing (HPC), data management, cloud-based resources, high throughput computing (HTC), user management, and authentication, authorization, and other security services.

Required Badges

	ACCESS Resource Description RP Activity Summary: The resource provider provides ACCESS information needed to describe their type of resource, including: public facing information like descriptive text, user guide URL, and resource status dates; and non-public information like the names and email addresses of RP staff contacts. ACCESS allocated resource providers will generally enter this information into the ACCESS CyberInfrastructure Description Repository (CiDeR) database themselves, with an estimated effort of 2-3/hours to gain CiDeR access and to enter the information, and ~30 minutes semi-annually to maintain the information. Most other resource providers will communicate needed information to ACCESS staff, with an estimated effort of <1 hour, and ACCESS will enter the information into CiDeR for them. ACCESS Verification: Automated: ACCESS will verify that CiDeR information is complete automatically on a daily basis, and communicate discrepancies to to the RP.

	ACCESS Usage Metrics RP Activity Summary: Usage information that Resource Providers report via the AMIE and Usage APIs is automatically ingested into ACCESS XDMoD without requiring additional effort from Resource Providers. ACCESS Verification: Manual: ACCESS staff confirm that usage metrics reported through AMIE are viewable in XDMoD.
