Overview
Science Mesh in a Nutshell
This is the technical documentation of the ScienceMesh infrastructure. It describes how to join the infrastructure and how it operates, as well as how the infrastructure is organised.
To get basic ideas about how the Science Mesh operates, we recommend you to start reading the Overview, and it may also help your understanding to at least skim through the Architecture.
If you are a site adminstrator wishing to join the Science Mesh infrastructure, and you have basic understanding of the architecture of the federation, follow the How to join Science Mesh guide–the main checklist of steps necessary to join the infrastructure that will guide you through the configuration and direct you to particular technical howtos.
If you are a user of a site, this documentation is not for you. When seeking help, contact your standard helpdesk who will be able to give you assistance with using the Science Mesh as well.
If you find an error or you want to contribute to the documentation go to Contribution Guidelines.
