The document discusses data infrastructure and publishing services provided by SuMaRiO. It describes SuMaRiO's architecture, which includes a three-tier structure with a client tier, data tier, and application tier. The architecture supports various web applications, including tools for metadata editing, search, and publishing. It emphasizes the importance of data publishing for ensuring data quality, access, and citation in scientific research.

Some reasons:
• Bridging geographical distances
• Connecting different data sources
• Accessing for project participants
• Storing data in a safe environment
• Availability over the project time
• Long time preservation (archiving)
Special challenges are:
• Heterogeneous data sources
• Large volumes of data streams
• Integration in existing infrastructures
Solution:
Standardizations (!)

• Precondition for INTEROPERABILITY
– Ability of different systems work together
– it allows an information exchange over common
protocols and data formats in the Information
technology (IT)
– describe the capability of different programs:
• to exchange data via a common set of exchange formats,
• to read and write the same file formats,
• and to use the same protocols.
• Organizations are ISO, OGC, W3C
– ISO 19115 – Metadata
– WMS – Web Mapping Service
– CSW – Catalog Service Web

• Publishing is strong incentive for scientist to share
their data
Benefits:
• ensuring a high data quality and long-term usability
• ensuring a permanent access via persistent identifiers
• enabling easy and clear data citations in scientific
publications
• Impact on citation rates is much higher
