The D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative. Ecosystem is composed by 2 groups of resources:

• resources provided by the sites managed by different EU project partners (iMarine, EUBrazilOpenBio, etc) or provided by external partners sites having an established collaboration with some of the EU Projects.
• resources accessible using a federated approach.

In particular the iMarine project partners ( CNR, NKUA, FAO, FIN) and its external partner ( ASGC) provide hosting resources:

• Hosting Resources: the physical and virtualized resources supporting the infrastructure

where to deploy gLite/EMI/UMD, gCube, Hadoop and other needed software:

• gCube Resources : the gCube software resources
• gLite/EMI/UMD Resources : the gLite, EMI and UMD middleware resources
• Hadoop Resources: the Hadoop software resources
• Runtime Resources: other type of Resources exploited at runtime by the gCube Services.

As said, besides the resources iMarine hosts in the D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative. Ecosystem, iMarine is establishing close interoperability links with other infrastructures, many of them already available in the D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative. Ecosystem. These collaborations are based on a Research Collaboration Model where resources of one infrastructure can be consumed or accessed by another infrastructure and vice-versa through an agreement community-based approach under the control of the infrastructure’s middleware.

The Federated Resources can be grouped in 3 categories:

• Computing and Storage Resources
• Community Resources
• Ecosystem Components
