What is this project about?

eInfraCentral platform, developed in the context of eInfracentral EU project is open sourced SW used for building and synchronizing electronic service catalogues from research infrastructures. It can be used by any research organization and research Infrastructure to publish, maintain a catalogue of services and offer added value functionality on top of service offerings.

eInfracentral technology has been used for building the eInfraCentral catalogue (https://www.einfracentral.eu), the Catalogue of the European Open Science Cloud Portal (https://catalogue.eosc-portal.eu), the catalogue of services of OpenAire infrastructure (http://catalogue.openaire.eu) and the catalogue of services of Research Infrastructres (http://www.catris.eu).

Detailed specifications are available also at the developer section of the portal https://www.einfracentral.eu/developers

The eInfraCentral software is distributed under the GPL 3.0 license.
