A request to create a federated experiment from the included description. Credentials and access information is also provided. On success a logical description of the experiment is returned as well as the information about federated testbeds needed to access local services.

A request for the virtual topology of the experiment. Requesters with different access rights may receive different information.

A request for the visualization of the experiment. This is really a legacy interface for visual tools that cannot generate their own visualization. Requesters with different access rights may receive different information.

A one-stop request for meta-data on the experiment. Includes all the info from a Vtopo and a Vis request.
