Component MetaData Infrastructure

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.
