The Science Gateways Community Institute consists of five service areas and the Scientific Software Collaborative offers an openly accessible Gateway Catalog. The Gateway Catalog helps to promote gateways, the community can contribute gateway-relevant software components, search the diverse collection of existing gateways and software to customize an out-of-the-box gateway solution as well as find gateways to use as a resource in research and/or teaching.
