Training materials used for the 3rd Int'l Summer School on Data Science (SSDS 2018)

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.
