Adopted Tools in Sci-GaIA Project - Proposal by R. Barbera and B. Becker
This presentation outlines the proposed tools to be adopted in the Sci-GaIA project, as discussed during UNICT-CSIR meetings. The tools should be open, based on state-of-the-art technologies, fully integrable on the web environment, and sustainable post-project completion. The main goal is to create legacies of EU-Africa collaboration and ensure long-term survival. Explore the preliminary considerations, task-specific tools, transversal tools, and guides for infrastructure and science gateway development.

Tools proposed to be adopted in Sci-GaIA R. Barbera (UNICT) and B. Becker (CSIR) 12 May 2015 - London This project has received funding from the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement n 654237
Outline Outline Preliminary considerations Task-specific tools Transversal tools 2
Preliminary considerations Preliminary considerations The content of this presentation has been defined during a series of UNICT-CSIR meetings held in Catania starting from the 28th of April Tools adopted by Sci-GaIA should be: Open Based on state-of-the-art technologies Already widely used Fully integrable in the web environment of the project (smooth user experience) and brandable with the coordinated image of the project (same look & feel ) Allowing precise accounting of what s been done by the project within its lifetime Sustainable Sustainable after after the end of the the end of the project Re Re- -usable usable in in other other contexts contexts project 3
Legenda Legenda and some more considerations and some more considerations Link Tool Consumer Providers and Tools should have a much wider scope than Sci-GaIA, both in term of size and lifetime The main Consumer in the next 2 years will be the Sci-GaIA website but it should be easily replaceable by other contexts after the end of the project In such a way Providers and Tools will become legacies of a long term EU-Africa collaboration and will survive specific projects Feed Provider 4
