Abstract

In September 2011 the European Middleware Initiative (EMI) started discussing the feasibility of creating an open source community for science with other projects like EGI, StratusLab, OpenAIRE, iMarine, and IGE, SMEs like DCore, Maat, SixSq, SharedObjects, communities like WLCG and LSGC. The general idea of establishing an open source community dedicated to software for scientific applications was understood and appreciated by most people. However, the lack of a precise definition of goals and scope is a limiting factor that has also made many people sceptical of the initiative. In order to understand more precisely what such an open source initiative should do and how, EMI has started a more formal feasibility study around a concept called ScienceSoft - Open Software for Open Science. A group of people from interested parties was created in December 2011 to be the ScienceSoft Steering Committee with the short-term mandate to formalize the discussions about the initiative and produce a document with an initial high-level description of the motivations, issues and possible solutions and a general plan to make it happen. The conclusions of the initial investigation were presented at CERN in February 2012 at a ScienceSoft Workshop organized by EMI. Since then, presentations of ScienceSoft have been made in various occasions, in Amsterdam in January 2012 at the EGI Workshop on Sustainability, in Taipei in February at the ISGC 2012 conference, in Munich in March at the EGI/EMI Conference and at OGF 34 in March. This paper provides information this concept study ScienceSoft as an overview distributed to the broader scientific community to critique it.
关于实现欧洲中间件计划的概念研究ScienceSoft:开放科学的开放软件
2011年9月,欧洲中间件倡议(EMI)开始讨论与其他项目(如EGI、StratusLab、OpenAIRE、iMarine和IGE)、中小企业(如DCore、Maat、SixSq、SharedObjects)、社区(如WLCG和LSGC)一起创建一个科学开源社区的可行性。建立一个致力于科学应用软件的开放源码社区的总体思想被大多数人理解和赞赏。然而,缺乏对目标和范围的精确定义是一个限制因素,这也使许多人对该倡议持怀疑态度。为了更准确地理解这样一个开源计划应该做什么以及如何做,EMI已经围绕一个名为ScienceSoft(开放科学的开放软件)的概念开始了一项更正式的可行性研究。2011年12月,来自相关各方的一群人成立了ScienceSoft指导委员会,其短期任务是将有关该计划的讨论正式化,并生成一份文件,其中包含对动机、问题和可能解决方案的初步高层描述,以及实现该计划的总体计划。初步调查的结论于2012年2月在欧洲核子研究中心由EMI组织的ScienceSoft研讨会上发表。从那时起,ScienceSoft在各种场合做了演讲,2012年1月在阿姆斯特丹的EGI可持续发展研讨会上,2月在台北的ISGC 2012会议上,3月在慕尼黑的EGI/EMI会议上,3月在OGF 34上。本文提供的信息,这一概念研究ScienceSoft作为概述分发到更广泛的科学界批评它。
