15. How Can Your Country Contribute ? Low entry barrier Make your existing data public and aligned with PIC via a PIC badge (using GCMD tool). Volunteer to help define the Polar ISO metadata profile. More Effort Required Volunteer to modify an existing Portal to fit the architecture (of the repository network) we want to put in place. Build a new Portal Register data services (Note: not the same as just metadata) in our agreed registry so that Portals can use these web services.
