Invenio Document types supported: ps, pdf, doc, xls, ppt Images can be stored too, but postponed for the time being. Document types interchange: submitted .ps can be retrieved as .pdf and viceversa. Not tried yet what happens with doc, xls, ppt Documents are fully indexed and search operations can be done on the entire text Provide some degree of authorization (at least for types/groups of documents)

Some INFN services

Users database There is the necessity of an administrative user database to be used to manage all organizational aspects. These kind of database has been already created at LNF for INFN personnel and is actually used by 3400 users (staff and associated staff) The plan is to insert in the DB also the organizational structure of big experiments like SuperB Integration with LDAP and using it also for authorization

Description of structure This is for example what we have done for INFN Administration description

This is for example what we have done for INFN roles assignments Assignments of roles This is for example what we have done for INFN roles assignments

User registration database The SuperB collaboration members will be registered in the same INFN user database structure

Web sites http://www.pi.infn.it/SuperB http://mailman.fe.infn.it/superbwiki http://www.pi.infn.it/SuperB http://web.infn.it/superb/ We’ll try to converge them in a SuperB portal for a single access to all services

Summary Several collaborative tools foreseen or already installed in different sites need to be centralized. Some INFN central web services can be used for this purpose Only one authentication and authorization infrastructure AAI can be used for all the SuperB collaborative tools. Some FTE needs to develop and maintain these tools in collaboration with INFN web services
