This page contains a list of the items being considered and reviewed as part of the ENVRIplus technology review. The entries may refer to general areas that need to be covered, specific technologies, specific examples and implementations of those technologies, or specific examples of the application of those implementations. For example, the general area might be data-intensive workflow systems, the specific technology might be data-streaming workflows, the implementation might be dispel4py, and the application might be its use correlating traces from 500 seismometers on an hourly basis.

Entries should be made on this page when

1. A member of the ENVRIplus notes that a topic needs to be covered, or
2. A member of the ENVRIplus project commits to, is in progress of, or has reported a review of the topic.

The purpose of these entries is to keep each other informed, and to reduce the risk of unnecessary duplication. It will also help track progress.

Entries should be logically grouped, for example under the six pillars of theme 2, or the three cross-cutting areas of investigation, namely:

1. Data identification and citation
2. Data curation including quality control
3. Data, Method, Process and Resource Cataloguing
4. Data Processing including transformations for integration
5. Optimisation of data-handling to reduce human effort or reduce resource use
6. Provenance including tools and mechanisms exploiting provenance
7. Community support including Virtual Organisations and CSCW
8. Architecture including mechanisms to meet non-functional requirements
9. Linking model
10. Reference model including extensions to ontologies to improve description
11. Other topics

Within that categorical structure related issues, such as the drilling into more detail on a topic, should be grouped.

Each entry should contain the following information:

1. A title by which this topic will be known (Name)
2. A URL where treatment of this topic can be found (when it is available) i.e, link to another page in this wiki
3. The person(s) making the entry
4. The date the entry was initially made
5. A short description of the topic, delimiting its scope
6. Related topics
7. The current status: (a) requires investigation, (b) will be investigated, (c) is being investigated, or (d) has been reported.
8. For b, c or d above the person(s), group, ENVRIplus task or WP that is undertaking the work.
9. Its category, from the list above, or a new category name, which should be gathered under other topics.
10. Its depth, from area, technology, implementation or application.
11. Its form, e.g. Protocol, Distributed framework, SW system, SW library, HCI framework, Tool, metadata framework, ontology, standard, authoritative report, ...
12. Where relevant its maturity, e.g. TRL for software
13. Its potential source
14. Why this topic is critical and needs attention

The topics follow, with Category headings dividing the list.
