Major Functions • centres as backbones of the infrastructure hosting/offering • various services • federation of centres and trust domain • visibility and access to LRT, virtual collection building • joint metadata domain • service oriented architecture - domain of web services • advanced applications such as combined metadata and • content in joint domain
Centre Types • centres are the backbone of any infrastructure • 6 types of centres • R recognized centres with a web-site etc • C centres that offer rich metadata via standard pipes • B centres that offer md and access to resources • A centres that offer infrastructure services (100% available) • (ISOcat, registries, md portal, etc) • E centres offering services but are external • (SARA: PID, execution, quality check, etc) • K centres giving advice (can be many) • A/B: MPI, INL, Meertens
Criteria - B Type • offer some useful services for a guaranteed period of time • explicit statements about services (availability, stability) • stability of service even when end of operation • proper repository system with clear APIs • for a certain identifier deliver the same resource/service • clear statements about business model and IPR treatment • must participate in quality assessment • participate in CLARIN SPF • adhere to CLARIN protocols and agreements (OAI PMH) • offer a deposit service and do curation • explicit funding statement required • centres need IT experts and setting up things requires funds
Criteria - A Type • borderline with B Type not that strict • centres that give services that are relevant for infrastructure • and not just offering their own LRT • ISOcat, • various registries (centres, schema, relation, etc) • md portal, • PID service • etc • 100% availability required • strong IT group required
