GENI Registry Services, a.k.a. Digital Object RegistrySpiral 2 Year-end Project Review GENI Federated Clearinghouse • (Federation Participants: ProtoGENI Clearinghouse (Pull) and Million Node GENI (Push)) CNRI PI: Larry Lannom Staff: Giridhar Manepalli, Christophe Blanchi Intern: Michael Booth (UVA CS undergrad) August 31, 2010
Project Summary CNRI’s Digital Object Registry project brings our information management technologies to the GENI virtual laboratory build-out. These are low-level infrastructural technologies currently used across a wide variety of projects around the globe to identify, discover, and access digital objects of all kinds. To date they have been used in GENI to provide: • GENI Federated Clearinghouse • Node/services look-up facility for Million Node GENI • Repository service for managing various experimental resources such as test cases, software packages, and results.

Milestone & QSR Status August 31, 2010
Accomplishments 1: Advancing GENI Spiral 2 Goals • Interoperability: Enabled federation of ProtoGENI clearinghouse records: slices, resources, components, users, and services, into a common schema. Next focus is PlanetLab. Engaged in an early discussion with PlanetLab. Milestone S2.c and S2.e. • I&M: Conceptual design of an I&M data archive and registry services being defined in discussion with Harry Mussman. Design to be proposed to the I&M working group. Could prototype the design in Spiral 3. • Identity Management: Analyzed InCommon and Shibboleth’s influence and challenges in GENI as well as the way in which the Handle System addresses those challenges. Report submitted. Milestone S2.d. August 31, 2010
Accomplishments 2:Other Project Accomplishments • Million Node GENI production support. Used Handle System to replace defunct Distributed Hash Table service essential to MNG operations. Milestone S2.b • Production services moved to CoLo center; external monitoring applied. • Storage services to GENI members: Hosted a Digital Object Repository service to GENI members. Milestone S2.a • Made preliminary connection with DataCite consortium for standardized citation of data sets resulting from GENI experiments. August 31, 2010
Issues • Lack of identity management adoption implied we had to assume a few things in our security analysis, including identifying Shibboleth & InCommon federation as potential systems. • Not a huge issue, but ProtoGENI’s python development environment resulted in a few challenges while federating clearinghouse records. We will get back to them shortly with suggested changes. August 31, 2010
Plans • What are you plans for the remainder of Spiral 2? • This conference call • The GPO is starting to formulate goals for Spiral 3. What are your thoughts regarding potential Spiral 3 work? • PlanetLab federation of resources. Identify how PlanetLab maps to ProtoGENI clearinghouse and address the heterogeneity challenges. • Contribute to I&M as possible - data archive system implementation. • Prototype GENI-wide Identity Management system implementation using the Handle System.
