How do I register a EGI science gateway?

EGI science gateways and their enabling technologies are registered in the EGI Applications Database. The Applications Database stores key information about the gateways and links to external pages providing additional information about them (e.g. access page, download page, available publications).

By registering your science gateway or gateway enabling technology in the Applications Database your service will be visible to the EGI community and to the general public not only through the EGI website, but also through numerous user community and National Grid Initiative websites that use the Applications Database web gadget. Through this web-gadget you can also embed the list of EGI gateways or gateway enabling technologies into your own website.

To register your EGI science gateway or gateway enabling technology in the database please:

1. Log in with your EGI SSO account.

  • If you don’t have a SSO account, please register as a new user. It’s free and it will allow you to access most EGI-related web-based tools.

2. Login to the EGI Applications Database and click on the 'Register New' page.

3. If you want to register a web-based science gateway, then

  • Register it as an application

  • Provide a 'Try it' link, so those who wish can access your gateway

  • Tag it with web.gateway

4. If you want to register a desktop application-based gateway, then

  • Register it as an application

  • Provide a download link, so those who wish can install your gateway

  • Tag it with application.gateway

5. If you want to register a science gateway enabling technology, then

  • Register it as a tool

  • Provide a download link, so those who wish can access your technology

  • Tag it with technology.gateway

If you have any further questions send an email to EGI.eu User Community Support Team ucst@egi.eu.
