B2SHARE Training

Training material for EUDAT's B2SHARE service.

The material consists of two major parts. The first module handles information retrieval and modification of objects stored in the B2SHARE service using the REST API:

• Retrieve specific record details, download attached files
• List existing records, in paginated form
• List communities and their metadata schemas
• Create draft records, attach files, metadata and commit to publish records
• Update metadata of existing records, per field or per community schema
• Special requests, like reporting abuse or requesting file access

The other module takes you through the deployment of your own B2SHARE instance:

• Download and installation through Git
• Configuration of B2SHARE and external services
• Administration of your instance
• Managing users and objects
• Exploration of data structures
• Integration of communities in your instance
• The b2share command line tool
• Troubleshooting

Based on:

• B2SHARE v2.0.1
