“…hybrid cloud services. The SYNAT system proposed in Mazurek et al (2013), Rosiek et al (2013) and the CORE system described in Knoth and Zdrahal (2012) are instead designed to facilitate the construction of publication repository aggregative infrastructures. Both products enable the customization of metadata aggregation and mining processes, and support the realization of advanced access services.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to present the architectural principles and the services of the D-NET software toolkit. D-NET is a framework where designers and developers find the tools for constructing and operating aggregative infrastructures (systems for aggregating data sources with heterogeneous data models and technologies) in a cost-effective way. Designers and developers can select from a variety of D-NET data management services, can configure them to handle data according to given data models, and can construct autonomic workflows to obtain personalized aggregative infrastructures. Design/methodology/approach -The paper provides a definition of aggregative infrastructures, sketching architecture, and components, as inspired by real-case examples. It then describes the limits of current solutions, which find their lacks in the realization and maintenance costs of such complex software. Finally, it proposes D-NET as an optimal solution for designers and developers willing to realize aggregative infrastructures. The D-NET architecture and services are presented, drawing a parallel with the ones of aggregative infrastructures. Finally, real-cases of D-NET are presented, to show-case the statement above. Findings -The D-NET software toolkit is a general-purpose service-oriented framework where designers can construct customized, robust, scalable, autonomic aggregative infrastructures in a cost-effective way. D-NET is today adopted by several EC projects, national consortia and communities to create customized infrastructures under diverse application domains, and other organizations are enquiring for or are experimenting its adoption. Its customizability and extendibility make D-NET a suitable candidate for creating aggregative infrastructures mediating between different scientific domains and therefore supporting multi-disciplinary research. Originality/value -D-NET is the first general-purpose framework of this kind. Other solutions are available in the literature but focus on specific use-cases and therefore suffer from the limited re-use in The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at

“…Typically, such software systems implement modules supporting general-purpose functional patterns for data collection, processing, storage and provision in order to allow developers to build ADIs by re-using, customising, and pipe-lining functionalities into workflows to meet the specific community needs. Examples of such systems, focusing on metadata collection are SYNAT (Mazurek et al, 2013) (Rosiek et al, 2013), CORE (Knoth and Zdrahal, 2012), and MoRe, i.e. the Monument Repository (Dimitris Gavrilis, 2013).…”

The Cultural Heritage (CH) community is one of the most active in the realisation of aggregative data infrastructures (ADIs). ADIs provide tools to integrate data sources to form uniform and richer information spaces. The realisation of ADIs for CH must be based on technology capable of coping with complex interoperability issues and sustainability issues. In this paper, we present the D-NET Software Toolkit framework and services, devised for the realisation of sustainable and customisable ADIs. In particular, we demonstrate the effectiveness of D-NET in the CH scenario by describing its usage in the realisation of a real-case ADI for the EC project Heritage of the People's Europe (HOPE). The HOPE ADI uses D-NET to implement a two-phase metadata conversion methodology that addresses data interoperability issues while facilitating sustainability by encouraging participation of data sources.
