+ Core Services¶
+
+
+Migration in progress
+This documentation describes the future core services of DANS. As of writing, some of these services are still under +development. For the current status contact the Data Station Manager of the relevant Data Station.
+Overview¶
+The DANS Core Services are centered around the concept of a Data Station. A Data Station is a repository system that +is used for depositing, curating and disseminating datasets, as well as creating long-term preservation copies of those +datasets. These long-term preservation copies are stored in the DANS Data Vault. The following diagram gives a +high-level overview:
+
Data Stations¶
+Each Data Station targets a part of the scientific research community. There is a Data Station for each of:
+ +The Data Stations use Dataverse as their repository system. Dataverse is an open source repository +system developed by Harvard University. The Data Stations create a long-term preservation copy of each dataset in the +DANS Data Vault.
+Other services¶
+The Data Stations will be trusted repositories. They are displayed as blue slices in the diagram. The grey slices are +not Data Stations, as they are not in themselves full trusted repositories. In the technical architecture, however, +they are described as variations on the Data Station architecture, as they are built using mostly +the same components.
+DataverseNL¶
+DataverseNL is a Dataverse installation that offers deposit and dissemination services. Datasets +stored in DataverseNL are also preserved in the DANS Data Vault. However, curation of the datasets is the responsibility +of the DataverseNL customer.
+Vault as a Service¶
+Vault as a Service offers an interface for automated deposit of datasets directly into the DANS Data Vault. +This service can be used as a building block in a customer's own archival workflow.
+Interfaces¶
+The services have both human and machine interfaces. This is represented in the diagram by the people and computer +icons. Note that the Vault as a Service has no human interface. See for more information +under External interfaces.
