DILIGENT - D4.4.1 Preliminary demonstration plan - M11
Balko S, Meta B, Pagano P, Nucci Fs, Pernice U
This deliverable is an on-going document that describes the planned actions for demonstration activities within the DILIGENT project. Demonstration activities have the objective to promote the main features of DILIGENT project to potential customers. Target customers have been analysed within WP 4.3 activities (Task 4.3.1 Virtual research organisation aggregation and analysis) and results of this analysis, included in this document served as starting point for the subsequent demonstration identification. In this version of the plan has been described the selected demonstration strategy and the design demonstrators have been chosen depending on available technical results, selected communities and context of use of the same demonstrators.Project(s): A testbed digital library infrastructure on grid enabled technology

DILIGENT - D3.1.1 - EGEE-DILIGENT Interaction Report November 2007
Faggian Marque R, Andrade P, Pagano P
This deliverable describes the activities performed in the context of WP3.1. WP3.1 objectives are: o to coordinate the cooperation and the interactions between DILIGENT and the EGEE activities to enable the integration, exploitation and enhancement of EGEE achievements through DILIGENT objectives; o to analyze the status of the available Grid infrastructure compared to the specific requirements of the Digital Libraries (DLs) community. Establish the basis for a profitable experimentation of Grid technologies in the knowledge management domain. The purpose of this document is to describe how the interaction between the DILIGENT and EGEE projects took place and explain the feedback provided to EGEE and the Digital Libraries community. This ongoing deliverable was progressively expanded during the lifetime of DILIGENT. More precisely, three versions of this report were produced: report 1 at project month 8, report 2 at project month 22 and report 3 at project month 38. These three periods are described in the document in chronological order in the following three chapters: "Hands-on Technology", which covers the activities from month 1 to month 8, "Design and Experimentation", covering from month 9 to month 21, and "Built of the Prototype", from month 22 to month 38.Project(s): A testbed digital library infrastructure on grid enabled technology

Procedures and Resources Plan
Andrade P, Manzi A, Pagano P
The D4Science-II project aims to build a Knowledge Ecosystem by promoting, defining, and implementing interoperability between the D4Science e-Infrastructure and other data e-Infrastructures. This Ecosystem will therefore be composed by multiple resources of different nature, provided by geographically distributed organizations. In order to create such ecosystem, the project will focus on the deployment and exploitation of mechanisms and policies for the interoperability of application-level infrastructure and infrastructural services. The objective is the D4Science-II SA1 Knowledge Ecosystem Operation work package is to deploy and maintain the central services of the D4Science e-Infrastructure to allow the interoperability with other e-Infrastructures, and the creation of multiple Virtual Organizations (VOs) and Virtual Research Environments (VREs) supporting different scientific scenarios. The D4Science e-Infrastructure is composed by different resources (hardware, data, services) provided by project members and other external organizations. This deliverable presents the hardware resources allocated by D4Science partners to the project e-Infrastructure by providing detailed information about the hardware characteristics and the deployment plan to exploit such nodes. This deliverable also presents the procedures defined by the D4Science Service Activity to efficiently operate the Ecosystem. The implementation of these procedures is carried out by a well defined set of roles and is based on a number of collaboration tools. These roles and tools are also described in the deliverable.Project(s): D4SCIENCE-II

Defining the e-Infrastructure needs of european environmental research infrastructures.
Pagano P
The ENVRI project, "Common Operations of Environmental Research infrastructures" is a collaboration in the ESFRI Environment Cluster, with support from ICT experts, to develop common e-science components and services for their facilities. The target is on developing common capabilities including software and services of the environmental and e-infrastructure communities across the very diverse research infrastructures that can be deployed and operated at scale through collaboration with e-Infrastructure providers. This presentation will focus on the common challenges across the research infrastructures relating to data capture from distributed sensors, metadata standardisation, management of high volume data, workflow execution and data visualisation that are faced by applied scientists in this domain, and the early work going on in the project relating to the common standards, deployable services and tools that they will need to undertake their research.Project(s): EURO ARGO

Powering Science by embedding Cloud Computing in Hybrid Data Infrastructures.
Pagano P
A recent study promoted by The Royal Society analysed the changing patterns of science and scientific collaborations and confirmed that science is increasingly global, multipolar, and networked. This trend is captured by the VVV paradigm, that is, data growth in Volume, Variety, and collection, processing and consumption Velocity. The requirements of this new science outgrow the capacity of traditional approaches. In particular: - Global, multipolar and networked scientific collaborations require dynamic computational environments capable of dealing with the VVV paradigm. - Heterogeneity of the data types and data sources to be integrated requires computational environments capable of federating a number of different technologies. - Innovative solutions for massive data storage, curation, management, and analysis require elastic access and usage of computational resources. The Hybrid Data Infrastructure (HDI) is an emerging paradigm, which assumes that different technologies, including cloud computing can be integrated to provide elastic access and usage of data and data-management capabilities needed to address the challenges of new science. The iMarine and EUBrazilOpenBio projects are underpinned by Hybrid Data Infrastructures. These infrastructures support world-wide collaboration between distributed biodiversity communities by federating heterogeneous data sources, offering innovative solutions to scientists. This is achieved by integrating advanced technologies for the management of data and by providing access to heterogeneous cloud computing resources by embedding the VENUS-C technology.Project(s): SIENA

Retrieving taxa names from large biodiversity data collections using a flexible matching workflow
Vanden Berghe E, Coro G Bailly N, Fiorellato F, Aldemita C, Ellenbroek A, Pagano P
In the domain of biological classification there are several taxon name matching services that can search for a species scientific name in a large collection of taxonomic names. Many of these services are available online, and many others run on computers of individual scientists. While these systems may work very well, most suffer from the fact that the list of names used as a reference, and the criteria to decide on a match, are hard-coded in the engine that performs the name matching. In this paper we present BiOnym, a taxon name matching system that separates reference names lists, search criteria and matching engine. The user is offered a choice of several taxonomic reference lists, including the option to upload his/her own list onto the system. Furthermore, BiOnym is a flexible workow, which embeds and combines techniques using lexical matching algorithms as well as expert knowledge. It is also an open platform allowing developers to contribute with new techniques. In this paper we demonstrate the benefits brought by this approach in terms of the efficiency and effectiveness of the information retrieval process with respect to other solutions.Source: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATICS, vol. 28, pp. 29-41
