Documentation for the NFDI MatWerk Repositories
The NFDI-MatWerk Repositories along with the Mapping Service provides a set of services intended to serve the NFDI-MatWerk community. It consists of a repository for data (NFDI MatWerk Data Repository), and another repository for storage of metadata documents and schemas (NFDI MatWerk Metadata Repository). The Mapping Service is a tool which helps in extraction of metadata from selected data file types, and maps them to well defined metadata schemas.
The NFDI Matwerk Data repository makes use of the base-repo and the NFDI MatWerk Metadata repository makes use of the MetaStore for storage of schemas and metadata documents.
Disclaimer: This documentation of the MatWerk instance is only meant as a quick reference. For extensive learning, the documentations of the individual services are best suited.
