  We present an overview of the recently funded "Merging Science and
Cyberinfrastructure Pathways: The Whole Tale" project (NSF award #1541450). Our
approach has two nested goals: 1) deliver an environment that enables
researchers to create a complete narrative of the research process including
exposure of the data-to-publication lifecycle, and 2) systematically and
persistently link research publications to their associated digital scholarly
objects such as the data, code, and workflows. To enable this, Whole Tale will
create an environment where researchers can collaborate on data, workspaces,
and workflows and then publish them for future adoption or modification.
Published data and applications will be consumed either directly by users using
the Whole Tale environment or can be integrated into existing or future domain
Science Gateways.
