Jupyter notebooks enable rapid iteration/results

6. But the data are big, distributed…
…and the science is collaborative

/user/[name]/
• Multi-user hub
• Manages multiple instances
of Jupyter notebook server
• Configurable HTTP proxy
JupyterHub
Goal: Liberate the notebook!
• Tokens for remote services
• APIs for remote actions, e.g. data
management via Globus service
petrel.alcf.anl.gov

8. Securing JupyterHub with Globus Auth plugin
• Existing OAuth
framework
• Can restrict IdP
• Custom scopes
• Tokens passed into
notebook environment

12. Experiment with the demo notebook
• Login into our JupyterHub*: jupyter.demo.globus.org
• Launch (spawn) a notebook server; get tokens
• Using the JupyterHub_Integration.ipynb notebook:
– Access Globus APIs; download some data
– “Analyze” data (generate plot)
– PUT results (graph) on an HTTPS endpoint
– Share the URL with others so they can access the results

13. Leveraging the next
generation of services
13

14. Our (simplistic) data flow thus far…
• Adequate for ad hoc sharing (implicit knowledge)
• Broader access, reuse requires “formalization”
• Leverage additional Globus platform services

15. Globus Search
• Scalable service à billions of entries
• Schema agnostic: use standard (e.g. DataCite) or custom
metadata
• Fine grained access control: only returns results that are
visible to user
• Plain text search: ranked results
• Faceted search: facilitates data discovery
• Rich query language: ranges, expressions, regex, etc.

16. Persistent identifiers
• Developing service for issuing persistent identifiers
– DOI, ARK, Handle, Globus
– e.g. https://identifiers.globus.org/doi:10.1145/2076450.2076468
• Within a namespace, e.g. your DataCite namespace
– Control which identities/groups can create identifiers
• Identifier attributes:
– Link to data: one or more https URLs, to file, folder or manifest
– Landing page: provided by service, or by user
– Visibility: identities, groups that can see identifier
– Checksum: of the file or manifest
– Metadata: as required by identifier (e.g., DataCite), extensible
– Replaces/replaced-by: for versioning

18. Other Globus integrations
• Web app development frameworks (Flask, Django)
• Content management systems (WordPress, Drupal)
• Development tools (Confluence, Jira)
• Scalable cyberinfrastructure (Kubernetes)
• Genomics analysis (Galaxy)
