Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations….
Expressing APIs:
- Authentication (OATH)
- Semantic - should be included in API
- Information models
- Workflows to chair
- Inventory of components
- Galaxy would connect with CIPRES - they already do this
- Need a good use case to connect gateways
- Self-describing formats (? illegible handwriting?) - have a long history
- For consistency - should everything be Rest-based
- GSI may need a registry of services
- Assessment and certification of gateways?
- Need a better definition of what a gateway is
- Ecosystem beyond HPC to integrate gateways is needed
- Need a tools catalog - to figure out what will work with your data
- IBM weather channel - Watson
- What would be the model of GSI components
- Taverna/registry of web services
- Use Jupyter to connect things
- Running jobs concurrently in different gateways. Could be a good use case
- Publishing should be done automatically (software and data services)
