Benefit Hypothesis
The Science Analysis Platform will be the first point of interaction between users and the SKA SRC systems. The Science Platform vision document defines what the ideal platform for the SRCNet will need to look like and the goal of the work in science platforms should be aligned with it as much as possible.
One of the most challenging components of the Science Analysis Platforms for the SKA is the level of federation. Several instances of the SRC may run their own backend system which should be able to communicate among each other. The frontend may look very similar for all.
