BHA Eywa PORTAL Registry

View Eywa Resources

PORTAL registries managed by BHA Registrar include:

• BrainWatch Registry for Brain Health
• Eywa Registry for Biodiversity and Wildlife Conservation
• Gaia Registry for Biosurveillance and Environmental Protection
• HELPME Registry for Health Education Law Public Policy and Medical Ethics

The PORTAL-DOORS System (PDS) is a who what where registry-directory system for identifying, describing, locating and linking things on the internet, web and grid. The PORTAL-DOORS Project (PDP) provides anonymous user read access to resource metadata in the prototype PDS registries and directories as well as more detailed information on the continuing design, development, and implementation of PDS as a cyberinfrastructure for semantic computing on the web and grid.

PDS registrar services are maintained at the following sites for resource metadata management at PORTAL registries and DOORS directories:

• BHA Registrar for BrainWatch, Eywa, Gaia and HELPME Registries supported by Brain Health Alliance
• GTG Registrar for Beacon, CTGaming, GeneScene, ManRay and Osler Registries supported by Global TeleGenetics
• PDP Registrar for access to all registries via the PDS network roots supported by the PORTAL-DOORS Project

all of which require secure https connection for authorized agent write access. Resource metadata record agents with Author and/or Editor roles may access write privileges at the BHA and GTG Registrars but not the PDP Registrar where write access is restricted to agents with Admin roles.
