近年来，科学门户作为一个有效的平台，获得了广泛的采用，可以降低进入计算资源、研究合作、科学数据、应用和出版物的传播、在线教育和社区参与的门槛。尽管存在多种门户框架和中间件工具包来促进科学网关的开发，但是将数据和工具在线带入科学网关环境的任务对于领域科学用户来说仍然是令人生畏的。在本文中，我们描述了gabb，这是一个国家科学基金会资助的项目，旨在通过提供基于HUBzero门户平台的地理空间数据管理和分析的可重用软件构建块来减少这一障碍。gabb的主要组件包括一个名为iData的地理空间数据管理系统、用于创建托管在网关中的地理空间数据分析工具的库、用于创建支持gis的数据探索工具而无需编程的GeoBuilder，以及用于地理空间数据处理和可视化的通用工具。gabb还提供了将这些组件/功能链接到动态工作流管道中的软件。开源的gabb软件已经部署在MyGeoHub上，并在多个领域应用中使用。Keywords-GABBs;DIBBS;科学网关;HUBzero;构建块;地理空间数据
Science gateways have gained wide adoption in recent years as an effective platform for a lower barrier entry to computational resources, research collaboration, dissemination of scientific data, applications and publications, online education, and community engagement. Although multiple portal frameworks and middleware toolkits exist to facilitate the development of a science gateway, the task of bringing data and tools online into a science gateway environment is still daunting for domain science users. In this paper, we describe GABBs, a National Science Foundation funded project that aims to reduce this obstacle by delivering reusable software building blocks for geospatial data management and analysis based on the HUBzero portal platform. The main components of GABBs include a geospatial data management system named iData, libraries for easy creation of geospatial data analysis tools hosted in the gateway, GeoBuilder for creating GIS-enabled data exploration tools without programming, and general purpose tools for geospatial data processing and visualization. GABBs also provides the software for linking these components/functions into dynamic workflow pipelines. The open source GABBs software has been deployed on MyGeoHub and utilized in several domain applications. Keywords—GABBs; DIBBS; science gateway; HUBzero; building blocks; geospatial data
