Subtype	Description	Examples
Data hosting service	Hosting or deposition service, a repository, i.e. the ability and willingness of a provider (like a data centre) to store and (optionally) publish resources of other parties for a defined period of time.	OpenEdition, HAL, EASY (DANS), Cléo’s platforms (Calenda, Hypothèses, Revues.org, OpenEdition), hosting services for digitized content/assets.
Processing service	A (digital) service that applies some algorithmic processing (statistical analysis, annotation) on given data, or provides means to edit/curate data (e.g. web interface for collaborative editing). Ideally, processing services are connected seamlessly with hosting service to appear to a user as one (virtual research) environment.	Conversion services, digitisation/OCR, annotation & enrichment, collaborative text editors (etherpad, wiki).
Support service	Support services support the use of a given service.	Helpdesk
Access to resources	(Online) access to resources (datasets) offered by the content provider. This can be raw data, (web) applications offering rich access to data, or web services that allow a programmatic access to the data (API). The granularity of the described resources is up to the content provider, but we encourage a high-level description of whole coherent collections of resources.
