DocumentationGetting Started with the Catch-all Data Repository
This guide describes the basic steps in the Catch-all Data Repository.
Public Access
Visit the catch-all repository.
An unauthenticated user can
- search for keywords using the Search field
- or browse all published records in the catch-all data repository by using BROWSE ALL RECORDS
- data and metadata are provided with no guarantees; the repository and its operator assume no liability for any issues arising from their use
Registering as a Depositor for the Repository
Write access to the repository is available to members of virtual organization VO_FIXME. To apply:
-
You need to submit the VO_FIXME application.
-
Once your application is approved you will receive a mail notification.
-
Then you can continue to Catch-all data repository and log in, which gives you permissions to create your first dataset.
FIXME: the VO will change with the following deployment!
Logging into the Repository
You need to be a member of the virtual organisation VO_FIXME as described above to log into the repository.
Browse to the catch-all repository.
To manipulate your records and/or handle communities, you need to log in via the LOG IN button and select your home institution.
Naturally, authenticated users can search for records and/or BROWSE ALL RECORDS in the repository the same way as general public. In addition to that, they can handle communities and create new records.
If you click on BROWSE ALL RECORDS you can see all public records. To see your drafts you have to select the community where you drafted your record. That is why the number of results can differ depending on communities selected.
About communities
Communities represent groups of users. The General community is the
community where new records are created by default.
As the repository is used by several user groups as a temporary solution before their specialised repository is established, you may see other communities as well.
Communities may have specific user sub-groups with specific permissions, e.g. to create records, to curate records etc.
This documentation describes the defaults in the General community, unless specified otherwise.
