Recent NetKarma Features

Collect GENI experiment log files through NetKarma website. Capture provenance of the experiments run by GUSH in GENI. Rollout NetKarma Provenance Repository containing data from a

variety of experiment log files. Capture the workflow of GENI slice creation, topology of the slice,

operational status, and other measurement statistics and correlate it with the provenance data for an experiment / slice.

Export provenance as an Open Provenance Model (OPM) XML graph file made available to the community.

Visualize provenance information using CytoScape tool.

DOs & DON'Ts

DOsWe do capture and manage experiment provenance.We do show that link between experiment provenance and network measurement data can be done.

DON'TsWe do not store I&M MD Objects or MD Object Descriptor in NetKarma.We do not store provenance of MD Objects in NetKarma.
