The LSST Science Platform is a unified set of web applications and services made available to the scientific community
to access, visualize, and perform 'next-to-the-data' analysis of the LSST data. The platform exposes the LSST data
and services to the user through three primary user facing ``Aspects'' --- the web Portal, the JupyterLab analysis environment,
and a machine-accessible Web API interface,
each providing different ways to access the data and analysis services provided by the LSST Data Access Centers (DACs).

Although primarily conceived as a platform for scientific analysis of the LSST data in the operations-era,
the LSP will also be the major platform for integration and test activities during LSST commissioning,

the LSP will also be the major platform for integration and test activities during LSST commissioning,
and as such, the relevant stakeholders comprise not only members of the scientific community but also the LSST Camera and Commissioning teams.

The objective of this review is to evaluate the vision and design of the LSP against the LSST science requirements, and to verify both the current implementation

\item A web Portal designed to provide essential data access and visualization services through a simple-to-use website.
\item A JupyterLab environment, that will provide a Jupyter Notebook-like interface enabling next-to-the-data analysis.
\item An extensive set of Web APIs that the users will be able to use to remotely examine the LSST data with familiar tools.

The LSST teams developing the Science Platform --- Science User Interface and Tools (SUIT) at IPAC,
Software Quality and Reliability Engineering (SQuaRE) at LSST-Tucson, and Data Access (DAX) at SLAC --- are
requested to demonstrate the detailed product design to be realized as well as the realization process.

Science use cases addressing all four of the LSST key science themes --- probing dark energy and dark matter,
taking an inventory of the Solar System, exploring the transient optical sky, and mapping the Milky Way --- should be addressed.
These use cases should cover database-oriented data access, data access for large-scale analytics (possibly non-database),
bulk data access for non data centers, and user interfaces.

It should be noted that the LSST database, Qserv, is considered to be outside the scope of this review; however,
certain aspects of the database design can affect the performance of the LSP. Where pertinent, those aspects of the
Qserv design and expected performance relevant to science users and the ability of the LSP to satisfy the LSST science requirements should be presented.

A representative group of LSST stakeholders will be asked to provide science-oriented feedback and recommendations on the design of the LSST Science Platform.
