wsva:ScientificVirtualAppliance
, a computational resource described as a Virtual Machine with a set of software components deployed on it. These resources define a set of features specifically designed for supporting the execution of a scientific workflow.
wsva:ScientificVirtualAppliance
is based on an wsva:ImageAppliance
that aggregates a set of wsva:VMImage
that can be used for enacting a Virtual Machine in a certain wsva:InfrastructureProvider
and then configured to expose the capabilities of the appliance.
The taxonomy of this ontology is depicted in Fig. 1. For more information about the classes and properties of the ontology check the following sections.
