Prototype a "Project" data model within the science gateway

In the SRCNet, users will be members of groups, and based on those groups the access to data is governed. Also users can query the public data in the network. The benefit of this work is to provide users with a way to store the outcome of this query so that when processing all data from this query can be accessed.

At a fundamental level, any activity by a user will be undertaken as part of an SRCnet project, which will have an allocation of resources and an understanding of data access to members of a group associated with that project. It will be valuable for users to have a concept of a project and that project's associated artefacts (e.g. data products in a project-specific data collection and software products / workflows, and ultimately, project accounting (resources available / used). This concept needs to be shared across members of the project and persistent so that a user can jump into a gateway and pick up where they left off / share with collaborators. Whilst this is not a requirement for SRCNet0.1, it may be possible to begin exploration of scalable solutions for the project concept with some prototyping to help inform future designs.

AC 1: An architecture of the data model for the storage of data collection references coupled to users or groups

AC 2: A prototype implementation of this coupling, where a user can add to, remove from and view the data collections for each of the groups they are a member of
