DILIGENT Resources and profiles
A DILIGENT Resource is anything whose related information can be gathered, stored, monitored, and disseminated in order to provide the valuable amount of knowledge needed during the creation and management of a VDL as well as to operate the entire DILIGENT infrastructure. The following resources have been identified:
- VDL
- Collection
- Metadata Collection
- Transformation Rule
- Service
- Running Instance
- External Running Instance
- DHN
- CS
- CSInstance
- gLite resource
Such resources can be combined or created at VDL creation time in order to set up a new Virtual Digital Library. In order to be appropriately managed and discovered, a DILIGENT Resource has to be described by creating a profile document compliant with its XML schema. A Schema per each resource type has been defined and all of them are available in the CNR's SVN Repository
