Projekt

The MASi service was designed and implemented within the Metadata Management for Applied Sciences (MASi) project. The KIT Data Manager (KIT DM) research data repository framework constitutes a fundamental building block for the MASi service. KIT DM extensions were either directly fed back into the main code trunk, accessible here, or were published as separate modules, available here. Further building blocks include Liferay, Vaadin, Tomcat, ArangoDB, PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, besides others. The MASi project and the resulting service are described in detail in this Open Access publication.
