Service providers

This presentation introduces the architecture and the main features of EGI Check-In service. This presentation is given at the EOSC-hub tech-talk AAI webinar.

This presentation introduces OPENCoastS Service, a platform to implement forecast systems for a system chosen by the user, using a browser-based, user-friendly, interface. It comes with a hand-on tutorial . These materials was used during the OPENCoast Training event at the IMUM 2018 workshop. More detailed information can be found at the service manual.

The webpage provides the basic overview of the Component MetaData Infrastructure (CMDI) service provided by CLARIN. The service provides a framework to describe and reuse metadata blueprints.
Most of the more detailed material available is geared towards end-user of the Virtual Language Observatory  (VLO):

•  Introductory leaflet: https://www.clarin.eu/sites/default/files/VLO-CLARIN-ShortGuide.pdf
• Online VLO documentation: https://vlo.clarin.eu/help
• How to use the VLO for discovering resources in a research context (video with examples): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FTzaOC7Ofg
• An interactive guided tour. It can be triggered manually in the application itself or via the link: https://vlo.clarin.eu/tour
• Additional resources: https://vlo.clarin.eu/about

For developers and administrators, following documentations are provided:

• Documentation on the VLO source code repository: https://github.com/clarin-eric/VLO#table-of-contents
• Documentation on the VLO docker image repository: https://gitlab.com/CLARIN-ERIC/docker-vlo-beta#readme
• Documentation on the VLO docker compose project repository: https://gitlab.com/CLARIN-ERIC/compose_vlo#readme

For technical users of the metadata infrastructure a useful resource, although work in progress, is the best practices guide
https://www.clarin.eu/content/cmdi-best-practices-guide and its related resources.

This training introduces the EGI Workload Manager service, also known as DIRAC4EGI, based on DIRAC technology.
The Workload Manager distributes and manages centrally thousands of computational tasks on cloud and HTC.

Additional materials about the EGI Workload Manager service have been used during the Virgo Computing School.

This training video introduces the PaaS Orchestrator develped by INDIGO-DataCloud. The service collects high-level deployment requests from the software layer, and coordinates the resource or service deployment over dynamic Mesos clusters or directly over IaaS platforms.

This course introduces the EGI DataHub and Open Data Platform and how to exploit their main features such as:

• creation of distributed filesystems;
• access to distributed filesystems through POSIX and CDMI interfaces;
• exploiting DataHub and Open Data Platform features from a cloud VM hosted in the EGI Federated Cloud;
• publish data in open data catalogues such as OpenAIRE.

The training introduces the B2ACCESS Service. B2ACCESS is an easy-to-use and secure Authentication and Authorization platform developed by EUDAT. B2ACCESS is versatile and can be integrated with any service.

This training repository provides training material and in-depth information in using the B2SHARE service.

This training module provides you with instructions on how to deploy B2SAFE and B2STAGE. It also shows you how to use these services. Moreover, the module provides hands-on training on Persistent Identifiers, more specifically Handle v8 and the corresponding B2HANDLE python library.

The document introduces the general concepts of the B2HANDLE service.
