Facilities Specification Template
This is a tentative proposal for Facilities Specifications. According to the iMarine DoW, the following Facilities should be documented by using this template:
- WP8 - iMarine
- Data e-Infrastructure Management Facilities
- Data e-Infrastructure Policy-oriented Security Facilities
- Workflow Management Facilities
- WP9
- Data Access and Storage Facilities
- Data Transfer Facilities
- Data Assessment, Harmonisation, and Certification Facilities
- WP10
- Data Retrieval Facilities
- Data Manipulation Facilities
- Data Mining Facilities
- Data Visualisation Facilities
- WP11
- Data Management APIs
- Data Consumption APIs
In addition to that, a number of applications will be developed, namely by combining these facilities in predefined workflows. These might stem from WP6 activities. These applications will be described through the same template.
Overall we should refrain from using terminology that is inherited by the project organisation, namely WPs and Tasks.
For each of the above described facilities, the following sections should be created: Overview, Key Features and Subsystems.
