Overview

The EMI Registry (EMIR) is a federated service endpoint registry based on REST-ful interfaces. The main highlights of the EMIR are:

  • Offers the complete service endpoint record management in a fine grained manner
  • Powerful data back-end based on MongoDB
  • Schema-free information model based on JSON (using GLUE2 entity names for endpoint attributes)
  • Seam-less access: REST API to browse the service registrations
  • Security
    • PKI governed authentication
    • Distinguished Name based authorisation using XACML driven PDP, or
    • Authorisation using Access Control List (ACL) for simplified access control

Pre-requisites for installing the EMIR Server

  • Java 6 Runtime Environment or SDK
  • MongoDB (version > 2.4.x)
