8.1	28	The [[Wiki service>>url:https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Collabs/the-collaboratory/Getting%20Started/#HWikipages]] of the Collaboratory hosts the main interface to access all the other Collaboratory services. As such, it embodies the full concept of collab workspaces and most users consider it to be the collab service. The Wiki in itself offers a handy way of documenting a user's work with a simple wiki user interface.

	34	The Collaboratory offers two storage solutions for collabs: the Drive and the Bucket. The Drive is especially well suited for files and documents that need to be worked on in a more agile manner, possibly also collaboratively. For larger files, datasets, and videos the [[Bucket>>url:https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Collabs/the-collaboratory/Documentation%20Bucket/]] offers a better solution.

7.1	49
	50	The EBRAINS Knowledge Graph is a multi-modal metadata store which brings together information from different fields on brain research. At the core of the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph, a graph database tracks the linkage between experimental data and neuroscientific data science supporting more extensive data reuse and complex computational research than would be possible otherwise.

	52	=== Knowledge Space ===
	53
11.1	54	[[[[image:documentation-icon.png]]>>https://api.knowledge-space.org/docs\|\|rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]]
7.1	55
	56	KnowledgeSpace aims to be a globally-used, community-based, data-driven encyclopedia for neuroscience that links brain research concepts to data, models, and the literature that support them. Further it aims to serve as a framework where large-scale neuroscience projects can expose their data to the neuroscience community-at-large. KS is a framework that combines general descriptions of neuroscience concepts found in wikipedia with more detailed content from InterLex. It then integrates the content from those two sources with the latest neuroscience citations found in PubMed and data found in some of the world’s leading neuroscience repositories. KS is a joint development between the Human Brain Project (HBP), the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF), and the Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF).

7.1	77
8.1	78	The Image Service was designed to allow users to process imaging data in order to be used with interactive HBP tools. These tools often need special formats and data descriptors to work, and the Image Service's goal is to provide streamlined workflows with which datasets can be made available to these tools with the simplest possible input, on-demand, using resources allocated in the FENIX Research Infrastructure.

7.1	103
8.1	104	The Model Validation Service provides web-based tools for working with computational models, and the validation of such models against experimental data. It consists of a REST web service and two clients: the Model Catalog collaboratory app and a Python client. Underlying metadata are stored in the Knowledge Graph. The service allows users (i) to create, edit, search and view metadata about models and validation tests, (ii) to register, search, view and compare the results of validation tests.

7.1	135
	136	The neurorobotics platform core (referred throughout this document as NRP-core) is the mechanism through which NRP users can implement simulations whereby multiple pieces of simulation software can coexist, synchronize their execution and exchange data in tightly ordered fashion. In previous versions of the NRP, NRP-core was referred to as the "Closed Loop Engine" (CLE), the task of which was to orchestrate the dialogue between the Gazebo robotic simulator and brain models implemented in NEST, Nengo, etc. For those of our users familiar with the CLE, NRP-core is a generalization of the latter, with new generic mechanisms provided to users who want to integrate new simulation engines into their NRP simulations. NRP-core is still built on the so-called Transfer Function framework, although the latter was adapted and renamed [[Transceiver Functions>>url:https://hbpneurorobotics.bitbucket.io/transceiver_function.html]] framework. This renaming is not only cosmetic: users familiar with the NRP up to v3.2 should indeed remain aware of some limited but meaningful evolutions between these two frameworks.

UNICORE can help solve many integration issues, provide the necessary building blocks and APIs for creating cross-site workflows and it provides added value such as site-to-site data movement (between POSIX filesystems), access to external data, or sharing of HPC data sets.

The job is launched using a service account in the name of the service provider. The service is limited to running jobs which use pre-determined executables. The end-user cannot use the supercomputing resources for purposes not intended by the service provider.
