Service Hierarchy
| Status | Proposal |
| Date | 2025-07-22 |
FAIR's discovery system operates on multiple levels:
Repositories
- Host and distribute actual package files
- Primary content storage layer
Aggregators
- Index and list Repositories and their packages
- Provide search and discovery interfaces
- Can list other Aggregators (recursive)
Discovery Services
- Higher-level directories that aggregate multiple Aggregators
- Enable ecosystem stakeholders to create unified search experiences
- Examples: Hosting companies, CMS vendors, large developer communities
- Can combine multiple Aggregators into single interface/API
Example Hierarchy
Discovery Service (Hosting Company A)
├── Aggregator (Dev Company 1)
│ ├── Repository A
│ └── Repository B
├── Aggregator (Dev Company 2)
│ ├── Repository C
│ └── Repository D
└── Own Repository + Aggregator
This hierarchy enables horizontal scaling while maintaining FAIR's decentralized principles.
