iPlant Discovery Environment
An Overview
What is it?
The Discovery Environment has been described in many ways…
“It’s a virtual workbench…”
“It’s where I manage my data…”
“It’s where I analyze my data…”
“It’s an app store….”
What is it?“iPlant’s flagship web-based system for integrating
data and analyses”
How can I use it?
• Data • Applications• Analyses
Data
Community (Shared) Data
Data (coming soon)
Processing your data….definitions to keep in mind
• Tool-installed on condor cluster or via Foundational API. Binary or script.
• Application- GUI representation created in DE for an installed tool
• Analysis-act of using the application with data
Applications
Ways to customize applications
• Copy and edit app currently in DE• Integrate new interface for existing binary or
executable (not your own)• Integrate your own command line program
Copy/Edit existing interfaceExample scenarios
• An application exists in the DE that I’d like to use, but I use different values or additional parameters for my research
• I’d like to modify an application to use in a workflow
Integrate a new existing toolExample scenario
• There is a tool that I use frequently in my research, and I don’t see an interface (application) for it in the iPlant Discovery Environment– CAVEATS: must be command line tool or script
that can be called via command line– Integration of a tool that is deployed via
Foundation API is separate use case, and separate presentation.
Integrate MY OWN toolExample scenario
• Research group is working on developing a tool that they find useful and are about to publish. Once published, they would like to make an interface (application) available for wider adoption.
Launching an Analysis
• View data you wish to use• Select App from App Catalog• Set parameters/launch job• Monitor progress• View outputs

Upcoming Features
• Searching of applications and data– Development in progress
• Provenance tracking– Underlying infrastructure changes in progress
• Enhancements to workflow authoring• Tagging of files and applications• More usability changes• Localized sharing (group or individual)
