This document looks at some possibilities of extending version 1.0 of the KNSG Architecture to include semantic technologies that will improve the framework and add value to the user experience. KNSG is a non-domain specific application framework that is built upon Bard, PTPFlow, and MyProxy for setting up, launching and managing HPC application workflows through an easy to use set of user interfaces. This document is intended to lay the foundation of the core components and views provided by the KNSG version 2.0 application framework and inform users how they can extend the various parts The framework has simple facilities for working with data including import/export, annotation and tagging. The user can create scenarios, add data to them and then launch workflows to HPC machines using PTPFlow. There is also a facility for retrieving result data from completed jobs so the user can continue to work with it and if possible, visualize it. The intent of this document is to lay the foundation of how the core components and views will be enhanced in version 2.0 by adding in the semantic capabilities provided by Tupelo and replacing the current frameworks repository system with a Tupelo context and Tupelo beans. It will also give users information on how to extend the framework for their domain specific application.
