# Service Hierarchy

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
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
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.
