Service Catalogues

Service Catalogues and their federation

I seem to have misplaced the info about the EU Node’s service catalogue API, does someone have it easily accessible?

PaNOSC experts are @martinv and @knodel - maybe one of them can share the documentation with you. If you don’t get an answer soon I will try to see if I can find something.

Hi @Jessica_Parland-von , I found this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MbCyskOAKnEFnKeZZdpdpXxSFMR3lJp5/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=108395332579834817826&rtpof=true&sd=true

Is this what you are looking for? The appendix B refers to these schemas:

For a technical specification of the schema, refer to: giambattista.bloisi/een-catalog-specs: Specs for Registration of EOSC Service Catalogues in the EOSC EU Node - een-catalog-specs - Gitea

Python response model: een-catalog-specs/catalogue_model.py at main - een-catalog-specs - Gitea
end-point sample implementation (mocking data from SURF): een-catalog-specs/main.py at main - een-catalog-specs - Gitea
JSON schema: een-catalog-specs/service_catalogue.schema.json at main - een-catalog-specs - Gitea

Is this what you are looking for?

There is also a related publication on Zenodo: Registration of EOSC Service Catalogues in the EOSC EU Node | Zenodo .

Thanks everyone! I actually was looking for the information about how to GET information from the EEN and I have now found the info in my email box. I don’t know if I can share it here, though? @Thanassis_Karmas would it be ok?

Btw, I just complied a list of relevant documentation regarding catalogues. Unfortunately, not all documents are openly available as they are WiP (but you can always try to request access). As you can see we are partly trying to hit a moving target … But this can be done!!

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing the documents. For us that are service providers within a National Node, do you know if there is any Node that has published how they “translate” the Federation requirements to requirements for service providers within the Node? Starting with the service catalogs here, but also thinking about aai requirements.

We are currently working on this with regard to external services we’re onboarding. It’s very much work in progress and more high-level, but in Finland we’re used transparency, so here you go (its public): Onboarding documentation - Finn-ARMA - Eduuni-wiki

these aren’t quite up to date, as we’re still discussing the exact requirement of the national level onboarding, whether there should be one or two levels
