  1. Jim DeRoest Director, Streaming Media Technologies ResearchChannel, University of Washington Director, e-Science Initiatives Pacific Northwest Gigapop deroest@washington.edu

  2. Research1 is an online community that allows researchers to collaborate with peers, and share information and digital media with the general public.

  3. Primary Functions • Serve as a premier outlet for researchers to fulfill their public outreach requirements • Foster interaction and communication between members of the public and researchers • Provide a collaborative platform to teams who could potentially be geographically dispersed

  4. Core Features for Researchers • Easily create a “Project Hub” that serves as a public-facing webspace for their work and/or a private collaboration area for team members • Easily upload, store, tag, and publish digital media in multiple formats including video, audio, images and documents • Publish a blog for the project to discuss ongoing work • Interact with other researchers and the general public through project- and discipline-specific message boards, private messaging , grid toolkit, and IP-based videoconferencing

  5. Growing population of “myspace-like” collaboratory portals for e-Research. myExperiment, Sci-Vee, EcoSpace, CalIT2 Research.Intelligence, ourSpace… Research1 – How is it different? Public facing, social interface to e-Research activities. Interoperate with e-Research portals – peer collaboration. Manage/deliver low bandwidth and high bandwidth essence objects Multi-discipline yet research focused vs. “lost in theYouTube ether” “Grid, Cloud, favorite buzz word enabled” YouTube for research

  6. Demonstration

  7. Architecture • .Net , Web 2.0 platform • Federation services • Social services • Digital asset management/delivery services • Grid platform services

  8. Federation Services • Shibboleth Leverage existing inCommon federations Unaffiliated users – ProtectNetworks Exploring other auth environments • Data grid services – metadata/content sharing • Affiliation and Content Assurance • NSDL model, Peer Reivew, ????

  9. Social Services – Community Server • Enterprise level collaboration services Forums, blogs, portal tools, reporting, … Access controls and delegation services … Large commercial and public install base http://communityserver.org • Why not Sakai, Confluence, et al? Integration with existing .Net tools/applications + Leverage existing .Net development expertise = Faster deployment with our existing resources

  10. Digital Content Management/Delivery Services • DigitalWell - Developed by ResearchChannel • Extensible metadata, Advanced search • High bandwidth-Large footprint content • Capitalizes on R&E cyber-infrastructure Sharing/Federation/Data Grid – SRB interconnect • WSAPI – portal development • Open Source http://digitalwell.org

  11. Next Steps … • Interoperation with grid environment Simplify access/sharing – conduit to where science happens • Portals and applications Teragrid, Birn, Many Eyes, Hastac, Mirex, Dariah, GridSphere, … • Platform suites OSG VDT, OGF SOKU, GENI, Semantic Web, … • Authentication – credential handoff/mapping GSI, GridShib, VO, … Additional identity systems – eduRoam, OpenID, …

  12. Next Steps … • Interoperation with grid environment • Computational Grids Live visualization, rendering, encoding services • Data Grids Structured/unstructured data, semantic tagging Access to local lab repositories • Video Conferencing ConferenceXP, Access Grid, iHD1500 N-Way … • PDA services Email blog posting, iPhone video player, …

  13. Collaboration partners • Open Science Grid Tool development Presentation capture, remote interview appliance OSG Grid services – automated audio/video encoding • Chinese Academy of Science VLAB collaboratory portal Develop/test grid portal interoperation

  14. Deployment Timeline • Current: Beta prototype selected early adopter PI’s • Deploying production hardware • Soliciting funding – MacArthur, Mellon, NSF • Summer ‘08: Phase 2 research collaboration services • Collaboration Invitation • Interest in creating a Research1 project spaces • Architecture development, research, partnership
