Integrating your repository with the DataONE network

DataONE is a distributed network of data repositories. Each individual repository is considered a Member Node within the network. Member Nodes make their data available to the network's Coordinating Nodes. Coordinating Nodes provide network-wide services, including centralized search and replication of content between Member Nodes. The division of effort between Member Nodes and Coordinating nodes provides for a robust and highly scalable network. This talk gives an overview of the process for, and benefits of, integrating a repository with the DataONE network.
