Executive Summary:

This deliverable reports on the first release of the ENVISION Portal. The ENVISION Portal allows the environmental community to use domain specific Web-Models or create new ones building upon the available resources. It is used by non ICT-Skilled users to produce websites dedicated to specific environmental scenarios, which embed web service compositions implementing environmental models. It is a generic solution to be used for different modelling domains and has to provide a community based system.
The first release of the ENVISION Portal provides:

1. support of Community with authentication,
2. resource management,
3. an annotation mechanism,
4. discovery of resources,
5. a composition designer,
6. a way to create new scenario websites,
7. an access to dedicated websites.

This deliverable provides details on the aforementioned items and puts them in the context of the overall ENVISION architecture. The first release of the ENVISION Portal presented in this deliverable is functional and already available for internal use for the ENVISION consortium. Significant changes and improvements will be performed during the second and third years of the project and will be reported in the deliverable due for month 24 and month 34 of the project.
