\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:intro}
Introduction.
This document is \gls{ESCAPE} project deliverable \docNumber{}: “\docTitle{}\autocite{ESCAPE-GA}.
\Pgls{ESAP} is the primary deliverable of \gls{ESCAPE} \Acrlong{WP} 5 (\Acrshort{WP}5\glsunset{WP}).
A fundamentally web-based application, it serves a key part of the interface between the services delivered by \gls{ESCAPE} and the scientific community, providing mechanisms by which users can discover, access, and analyze the data, workflows, and services which the \glspl{ESFRI} affiliated with \gls{ESCAPE}, as well as other research infrastructures and a diverse range of other service providers, publish to the \gls{EOSC}.
At the time of writing, the funded \gls{ESCAPE} project is reaching its conclusion.
Substantial development effort has been invested into \gls{ESAP} and the surrounding ecosystem of software and services.
At the same time, we do not believe that the development of \gls{ESAP} itself is coming to an end: the technologies developed, and the workflows pioneered, have shown real potential for widespread future application.
This makes it an opportune moment to step back and assess the current state of and future plans for \gls{ESAP}.
What have we achieved within the context of \gls{ESCAPE} so far?
How can we build upon these achievements in the future?
It is that analysis which is undertaken in this document.
At the mid-point of \gls{ESCAPE}, we undertook a substantial analysis of the performance of the \gls{ESAP} system as it then stood \autocite{ESCAPE-D5.3}.
This document builds upon that earlier work to describe the sum total of the work achieved across the full duration of the project.
Specifically, we will consider:
\begin{enumerate}
\item{To what extent the prototype meets the requirements which were specified in \citetitle{ESCAPE-D5.2} \autocite{ESCAPE-D5.2}?}
\item{To what extent the prototype meets the needs currently being expressed by the \gls{ESCAPE}-affiliated \glspl{ESFRI}, as expressed through the use cases collated by the project?}
\item{To what extent have \gls{ESFRI} or other services have been successfully integrated with \gls{ESAP}?}
\item{What are the future plans for \gls{ESAP} development as the \gls{ESCAPE} project comes to its conclusion?}
\end{enumerate}
Broadly, this report is structured in two parts.
In the first part, we provide essential context by describing the \gls{ESAP} system.
In \cref{sec:vision} we the overall vision for the \gls{ESAP} system: what did we set out to build?
\Cref{sec:current} takes that further by describing what is currently available: if one were to deploy and operate an \gls{ESAP} system today, what would it consist of?
The second part of this document moves on to asses how successful that vision and implementation have been in addressing user --- and in particular \gls{ESFRI} --- needs.
In particular, \cref{sec:requirements} tabulates the documented requirements and compares them to delivered product; \cref{sec:usecases} discusses how \pgls{ESAP} relates to all the use cases collected by the \gls{ESCAPE} project; and \cref{sec:esfri} describes current \gls{ESFRI} engagement with the platform..
Finally, we consider potential future enhancements in \cref{sec:future}, and provide a summary of the results of this analysis is presented in \cref{sec:conclusions}.
