How can I publish my metadata to the Virtual Language Observatory ?

If you have many metadata records or records that frequently change:

• Use
  Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting
  See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Archives_Initiative_Protocol_for_Metadata_Harvesting
• Provide them preferrably as CMDI (click here for details about how to serve
  Component Metadata Infrastructure
  See: http://www.clarin.eu/cmdi
  over OAI-PMH)
• If that is not possible provide them as OLAC
• Depending on the situation your endpoint has to be added to the centre registry (in case of a registered CLARIN centre), or added manually to our harvester
  • In case of a CLARIN centre
    • if your centre has already been registered in the Centre Registry, contact the Centre Registry administration via e-mail. Make sure to provide the name of your centre and the complete URL of the endpoint.
    • if your centre has not yet been registered in the Centre Registry, fill in the Centre Registry registration form.
  • Otherwise
    • Send a mail to harvester [at] clarin.eu (harvester[at]clarin[dot]eu) to notify us about your OAI-PMH access point

If you have only a few static records and setting up an OAI-PMH access point is not feasible:

• Submit your records to the Language Resource Inventory  (for data, corpora, lexica, web services, software, ...)
• All the records in the
  Language Resources and Technology
  See: https://www.clarin.eu/content/language-resource-inventory
  inventory will be automatically converted into CMDI records. Note that this process can take a while.

Data provided over OAI-PMH or via the LRT inventory will be made available and searchable via the Virtual Language Observatory.
