ViNE Overview
The Virtual Notebook Environment (ViNE) is a platform-independent, web-based
interface designed to support a range of scientific activities across
distributed, heterogeneous computing platforms. ViNE provides scientists
with a web-based version of the common paper-based lab notebook, but in
addition, it provides support for collaboration and management of
computational experiments. Collaboration is supported with the web-based
approach, which makes notebook material generally accessible and with a
hierarchy of security mechanisms that screen that access. ViNE provides
uniform, system-transparent access to data, tools, and programs throughout
the scientist's computing infrastructure. Computational experiments can be
launched from ViNE using a visual specification language. The scientist is
freed from concerns about inter-tool connectivity, data distribution, or
data management details. ViNE also provides support for dynamically linking
analysis results back into the notebook content.
