Most of these tools have a web programmable interface that support a variety of functionality. The interfaces range from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAP SOAP] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmlrpc XML-RPC] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restful RESTful]. The tool spaces which span the breadth of the research computing platform are:\n* Resource management\n:: web APIs for vm register/start/stop via OpenNebula\n\n* Project management\n:: web APIs to group management, mailing lists, Wordpress, Trac, MediaWiki and new code to tie them together\n\n* Job Management\n:: web APIs from Galaxy to control workflows\n\nThese fairly well align with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_as_a_service#Layers Cloud paradigms] of Infrastructure (I), Platform (P), and Application (A) as a Service, ie. the IaaS, PaaS, and AaaS.\n\nThe goal of our research computing platform is to allow these to be extended into whatever areas interest people and which they are \nwilling to build out. \n\nFor example, developers can use these tools to build their own web services and expose them to the communities they want to support.  Their users will need resource keys (akin to what you would use for Google or Facebook services, they could even run FB apps) if they are going to be resource intensive APIs or whatever.  The sky is pretty much the limit here.\n\n== How to ==\n\n== API Overview ==\n\nHere's a list of developer documentation on the available programmable interfaces for the core tools of the research computing platform\n* OpenNebula Cloud API - offers two interfaces\n: 1.
