Project ideas

R script publishing with WPS

The Web Processing Service is a standard for controlling analyses and alorithms on the web. WPS4R is a plattform for web developers and domain scientists to publish R scripts (developed by domain scientists) as standardized WPS (to be used by web developers or other third parties). It supports openness and reproducibility. Find out more about it here: https://wiki.52north.org/bin/view/Geostatistics/WPS4R

In this project, the student will extend existing functionality with new features that have been derived from real-world deployments of WPS4R. This project will work on the following issues and ideas:

• https://github.com/52North/WPS/issues/146 - New annotation: import
• https://github.com/52North/WPS/issues/145 - New annotation: wps.metadata
• https://github.com/52North/WPS/issues/144 - Support R script versions
• https://github.com/52North/WPS/issues/142 - Allow black box processes in WPS4R
• https://github.com/52North/WPS/issues/80 - RemoteRScriptRepository and GitHubScriptRepository
