CV Presentation Objects
CV Presentation objects are the entry points for human users to the systems and services provided to access research data and their derived products. In the ENVRI RM, complex interactions between the components facilitating data use and other components are mediated by virtual laboratory; these objects are deployed by science gateways in order to provide a persistent context for such interactions between groups of users and components within the RI. The Reference Model recognises the following specific sub-classes of laboratory:
Regardless of provenance, all laboratories must interact with a AAAI service in order to authorise requests and authenticate users of the laboratory before they can proceed with any privileged activities. |

Science gateway
Community portal for interacting with an infrastructure.
A science gateway object encapsulates the functions required to interact with a research infrastructure from outside with the objects provided for data acquisition, data curation, data brokering and data processing. A science gateway should be able to provide virtual 'laboratories' for authorised agents to interact with and possibly configure many of the science functions of a research infrastructure. A science gateway is also known as a Virtual Research Environment.
- A science gateway object can instantiate any number of virtual laboratory objects.
