Poster description:
This poster presents RCIN -a digital repository developed in OZwRCIN project, being an example of cooperation between thematically diverse scientific institutes across Poland. RCIN is developed to give access to and promote digital resources coming from various Polish scientific institutes. The poster covers information on technical solutions applied to increase the accessibility of data, .e.g various metadata schemes like Dublin Core and Darwin Core, accessibility in terms of user interface as well as large-scale digitisation and underlying infrastructure (software and hardware). RCIN is built as a largescale repository that holds digital assets from all participating institutions and provides multiple ways to access the data, including a web portal for the general public, multiple smaller institutional repositories that give access to resources provided by specific institutions and various APIs.
