Once a Community Gateway has been created, several thematic service integration patterns are possible:
Community-specific repository: OpenAIRE can guide your repository managers on how to make the repository “OpenAIRE-compliant”. The gateway managers can configure the gateway so that all metadata records collected from the repository are available in the gateway. If the repository manager wants to get the enrichments OpenAIRE applies to the records, he/she can activate the Broker service using OpenAIRE PROVIDE..
Continuous publishing: thematic services can, once authorised by the user, publish their outputs (e.g. datasets, digital experiments) on behalf of the user. Thematic services and digital experiment platforms can be easily enhanced with a publishing step by integrating the Zenodo API. To know more, check out the pilot we have designed with the EPOS-IT infrastructure.
The OpenAIRE technical team can evaluate the feasibility of other integration patterns for your service. For an example, check out the EnerMaps Gateway: see how we integrated the REST API developed by the EC project EnerMaps to include a “Featured Datasets” section.
