LiquidPub platform integration

Organization
Objectives
This work package designs the overall LiquidPub platform and integrates the various parts developed in WPs 1, 2 and 4, namely, the core SKO functions, the process plug-ins, and the evaluation plug-ins. These are the goals of the WP:
- Define requirements for the overall system, both as a platform (for use of the SKO model by groups of users) and as an openly available service center, integrated with conferences, journals, and publishers
- Define the overall system architecture and interfaces – and specifically the graphical interface, the service API as well as the extensibility interfaces through which plug-ins can be installed
- Integrate and test the platform components and plug-ins delivered by the other WPs.
Tasks
WP5 is divided in three main tasks as described in table 1.
| Task no. | Task name | Start month | End month | Participants |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Task 5.1 | Requirement analysis for the LiquidPub platform and service center | M1 | M27 | UNITN, CSIC, SPRI |
| Task 5.2 | LiquidPub architecture and interfaces | M6 | M30 | UNITN, CSIC |
| Task 5.3 | Integration of LiquidPub plug-ins | M15 | M33 | UNITN, CNRS, CSIC |
Task 5.1 Requirement analysis for the LiquidPub platform and service center
This task defines the requirements at the overall platform level (not for the individual components or plugins) and for the functionality offered by the interfaces. It also identifies the requirements for a “service center” that delivers dissemination and publication services on top of the LiquidPub platform. The task takes into account the requirements and models set from WP1- WP4. Requirements are also discussed and presented for feedback to the Advisory Board members, either via conference call or via Web, even before the first mockup prototype is ready. The study of specific user requirements is made in cooperation with case studies investigated in WP6. The task continues throughout almost the entire project lifetime and continuously revises requirements and design, as needed.
Task 5.2 LiquidPub architecture and interfaces
In this task we define the system architecture in detail and define the interfaces among the various LiquidPub components and also between LiquidPub and users/external services. Part of this task is also the design of a mechanism to allow SKO process and analysis plug-ins.
Task 5.3 Integration of LiquidPub plug-ins
This task integrates the process components and the evaluation plug-ins designed and developed in WP2+WP4.
Deliverables
The WP5 has two main deliverables released in an incremental fashion (See table 2). These two are described in the following sections.
| Del no. | Deliverable name | Delivery date (proj. month) | Estimated effort (PM) | Participants |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D5.1v1 | Design of the LiquidPub Integrated system v1 | M12 | 16 | UNITN, CSIC, CNRS, SPRINGER |
| D5.1v2 | Design of the LiquidPub Integrated system v2 | M24 | 12 | UNITN, CSIC, CNRS, SPRINGER |
| D5.1v3 | Design of the LiquidPub Integrated system v3 | M36 | 15 | UNITN, CSIC, CNRS, SPRINGER |
| D5.2v1 | Integration of plug-ins v1 | M24 | 6 | UNITN, CNRS, CSIC |
| D5.2v2 | Integration of plug-ins v2 | M36 | 5 | UNITN, CNRS, CSIC |
D5.1 Design of the LiquidPub Integrated system
The deliverable D5.1 is a report which involves requirements, architecture and interfaces. This is released in three different versions:
- V1 (M12, UNITN, CSIC, CNRS, SPRINGER, 16): first version of the requirement analysis and mockup prototype. Initial definition of LiquidPub architecture, high level description of interfaces.
- V2 (M24, UNITN, CSIC, CNRS, SPRINGER, 12): second version, including feedback from the first prototype/mockup. Initial definition of approach to testing and test cases. Refined architecture and detailed description of the interfaces
- V3 (M36, UNITN, CSIC, CNRS, SPRINGER, 5): final version of the document, including feedback from the usage of the V1 platform. Final version of architecture and interfaces.
Thus, as part of this deliverable it will be produced:
D5.2 Integration of plug-ins
The deliverable D5.2 is prototype of the LiquidPub platform. It has two releases:
- V1 (M24, UNITN, CNRS, CSIC, 6): Integration of the first version of process and evaluation plug-ins
- V2 (M36, UNITN, CNRS, CSIC, 5): Integration of the final version of process and evaluation plug-ins
