CV Presentation objects are the entry points for human users to the services provided. The user interfaces consist of both service management and researcher (consumer) access points, or gateways.
Service Manager User Interface
The Service Manager UI provides an user interface to access the Service Subsystem for authenticated human users with management credentials.
Process Manager UI
The Process Manager UI provides an user interface to access the Process Subsystem for authenticated human users with management credentials.
Consumer UI
A community portal for interacting with a service, or services, of the distributed infrastructure.
The Consumer UI encapsulates the functions required to interact with the services provided by the research infrastructure externally to the infrastructure. It supports the following interactions:
- request process (client): takes input from the researcher to request and start a service.
- authenticate user (client): a client interface which requests confirmation of the identity of the user agent.
This object may take the form of a Virtual Research Environment (VRE), providing a persistent context for a researcher, or group of researchers, service component objects, research data, and interactions between these. Alternatively, it may be an object that facilitates access to a single discreet service.
