3. G.&W.Koch: Microservices in LoCloud 3 Project Context – LoCloud is a Best Practice Network co-funded under the CIP ICT-PSP programme of the European Commission. – LoCloud is supporting small and medium-sized institutions in making their content and metadata available to Europeana. – A cloud-based technology infrastructure will enable the aggregation of local content, and – a number of microservices will help to reduce technical, semantic and skills barriers and to render the content more discoverable and interoperable. Amersfoort, 2016-02-05

4. G.&W.Koch: Microservices in LoCloud 4 Project Context Six development teams: AIT, Athena RC, AVINET, IPCHS, UPV/EHU, VUKFC All the services are implemented on virtual machines in a cloud testlab (using the OpenNebula cloud computing platform) API documentation is available for each service End-user interfaces are provided for three microservices Each service has been integrated in MORe Amersfoort, 2016-02-05

12. G.&W.Koch: Microservices in LoCloud 12 LoCloud Microservices Wikimedia application A web service that uses a REST interface to communicate with Wikimedia commons The main functionalities are harvesting content form Wikimedia, parsing the harvested content, and identifying useful entities that can be mapped to the ESE or EDM metadata schemas. The mapped ESE / EDM records are then sent to MORe to be delivered to Europeana. Wikimedia Commons Licensing Athena RC Amersfoort, 2016-02-05

14. G.&W.Koch: Microservices in LoCloud 14 http://vocabulary.locloud.eu/ Vocabulary Microservices LoCloud uses a variety of standard vocabularies during the metadata enrichment process. These vocabularies have been established with the TemaTres tool and are available in the LoCloud testlab. In addition, you can add your own vocabularies, establish new vocabularies or add languages to existing vocabularies. Amersfoort, 2016-02-05

24. G.&W.Koch: Microservices in LoCloud 24 About: Microservice Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microservices (2016-02-01) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microservices [...] microservices is a software architecture style in which complex applications are composed of small, independent processes communicating with each other using language- agnostic APIs. These services are small, highly decoupled and focus on doing a small task,facilitating a modular approach to system-building. Amersfoort, 2016-02-05
