Service providers

This training module provides detailed instructions for the usage of the B2FIND service. We explain how to employ B2FIND as an external metadata portal service for communities and how scientists from any community can search through metadata provided to B2FIND.

Part of the IEEE Workshop on Big Data Metadata and Management (BDGMM 2018) taking place in Berlin, Mar 19-20, 2018 in conjunction with RDA Plenary 11. 

FitSM is a free and lightweight standards family aimed at facilitating service management in IT service provision, including federated scenarios. The main goals of FitSM are: Create a clear, pragmatic, lightweight and achievable standard that allows for effective IT service management (ITSM). Offer a version of ITSM that can cope with federated environments, which often lack the hierarchy and level of control seen in other situations. Provide a baseline level of ITSM than can act to support ‘management interoperability’ in federated environments where disparate or competing organisations must cooperate to manage services.
