## CLARIN.SI (Institute of Slovenian Language, Ljubljana) — DSpace repository

- `storage/clarin-si-dspace-repository` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence documented | binding per-object-cap | category academic
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-01T21:26:42.531Z, checked 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-21
- url https://www.clarin.si
- free tier: No published per-item byte ceiling; deposit is by the authors themselves and free. Uploading files larger than 2 GB requires special handling via the help desk — i.e. the ceiling is procedural, not numeric. | unit: GB | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: Per-object >2 GB | bytes: 2000000000 | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: Free. CC-licensed resources download anonymously with no login; licence-gated resources use e-signature. No egress metering on a national ERIC node. | metered: no
- identity: email | detail: Deposit needs an authenticated login: a home-organisation account in the eduGAIN federation, or a self-registered CLARIN account used as the 'Clarin.eu website account'. The CLARIN registration form marks E-mail address and Password required, together with Full name, Country, Affiliation, Purpose and Motivation, and leaves the 'Academic account' box optional; it states that an academic address ensures maximal access rights and fast approval and that it is strongly recommended. CLARIN's published account procedure says the office checks whether the e-mail address is linked to an academic institution and, when it is not, reads the motivation of the request, so a non-academic address is reviewed rather than refused, and an administrator decides whether the account is activated. No card and no phone number is asked for.
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - write-gated: review before publication [1]
  - write-gated: review rather than stored [1]
  - per-object-cap (binding): Per-object >2 GB [1]
- limits note: Per-object >2 GB needs help-desk arrangement; editorial review before publication; metadata and open-format requirements are enforced. Deposit agreement must be e-signed.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: DSpace XMLUI with OAI-PMH and handle PIDs; upload either from disk, drag-and-drop, or 'upload a file from a URL' (useful for pulling from another store directly). CLARIN ERIC registration at user.clarin.eu/user/register is self-service and open to anyone.
- composes with: Unlimited items x unlimited size; CLARIN ERIC registration is open to non-academics (registration is processed within about two working days), so the account step is repeatable without an institutional affiliation.
- reliability: Small national centre with a real editorial queue; content-scoped to language data and tools, so undocumented binary dumps get rejected at review rather than stored.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- evidence note: the free offer, the deposit login, the academic-address recommendation, the per-object handling threshold and the editorial review are quoted from the repository's own deposit and FAQ pages and CLARIN's registration pages, read on 2026-11-01; the egress and retention blocks are unchanged
