Printable Summary
CHAIN project focused on enhancing the collaboration among VRC by means of the adoption of standards. CHAIN-REDS, its second phase, tries to enhance the previous VRCs achievements in a thirty months project focusing now on Data Infrastructures. The new aims and objectives of its associated Work Package will be presented during the EGI CF 2013, mainly the way that it plans to extend the successfully VRCs adopted line of work to Data Infrastructures. Thus, the collaborative Data Infrastructures will be presented as well as the work that will be done through the CHAIN-REDS lifetime by the adoption of standards for allowing the interoperability of Data Infrastructures. Even when there is a wide plethora of Data Infrastructures, as there is of VRCs, which count on their own ideas and developments, CHAIN-REDS aims to propose solutions that will make the access to their stored data as easier as possible for a final user as it did with the use of the codes employed by the VRCs during CHAIN. In this sense, the tools implemented by the project, i.e. the Science Gateway and the Knowledge Base, both freely available through the project webpage, will be described.
