    1112For the quarter ending with GEC13, we released the NetKarma portal which allows experimentors to easily add and retrieve experimental data from the NetKarma provenance archive. The NetKarma Portal is integrated with the NetKarma Provenance System and provides a persistent service on servers at Indiana University to enable GENI experimentors to help understand the conditions of their experiment. The NetKarma links the experiment workflow data obtained from tools such as GUSH to representations of the experiment's GENI topology, the GENI Instramentation and Measurement systems, and log term data archives. NetKarma links all of these systems together to simplify the complexity of running an experiment on the GENI framework.

    3637'''Work with the GENI I&M community to define a standardized GENI event records.'''  We have begone to examine some of the issues involved with creation of a standardised GENI event record. While NetKarma captures provenance information including "events" of the infrastructure used for a GENI experiment, NetKarma doesn't produce events but may capture events related to an experiment as part of the proveance capture. We have worked with ExoGeni, GMOC, I&M projects and the Mesoscale monitoring efforts as possible sources of event information about the creation, resource allocation and possible outages on the experimental infrastucture.

    4849 * Produce unified experment data representations such as a KML "movie" 
    4950 * Interface to archival services (local and iRODS)

    5456An experimentor creates an experimental handle to reference from the front page of the NetKarma portal. Any data products from the experiment can be uploaded to NetKarma. All are stored as archives but some supported file types are parsed and additional information gathered.
     
    6264Once the files are uploaded to NetKarma Provenance store through the portal the workflow can be visualized both on the portal itself and through the NetKarma plugin for the Cytoscape desktop application.
