| 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 |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
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. |
| Identity | email 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. |
| Egress | Free. CC-licensed resources download anonymously with no login; licence-gated resources use e-signature. No egress metering on a national ERIC node. |
| Per-object cap | Per-object >2 GB (2000000000 bytes) |
| Retention | not stated |
| Interface | rest 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. |
| Evidence note | documented 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 |

Evidence 14
| date | source | what it proved |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-21 | www.clarin.si/repository/xmlui/page/deposit | 'Uploading files larger than 2 GB requires special handling. Please contact Help Desk about how to upload such files.'; upload-from-URL supported |
| 2026-10-21 | www.clarin.si/repository/xmlui/page/faq | deposit is by authors, free, e-signed licence; 'If you don't have an academic account, you can get one through CLARIN ERIC' |
| 2026-10-21 | user.clarin.eu/user/register | open self-registration form, processed 'normally within two working days' |
| 2026-11-01 | www.clarin.si/repository/xmlui/page/deposit | the login list is a list of home organisations, and the CLARIN account is the documented route for the others |
| 2026-11-01 | user.clarin.eu/user/register | the CLARIN account request form has a mandatory affiliation field, so the fallback asks for an institution as free text |
| 2026-11-01 | www.clarin.eu/content/clarin-identity-provider-help | an account on the CLARIN identity provider is activated at an administrator's discretion, which is the write gate that follows the login |
| 2026-11-01 | www.clarin.si/repository/xmlui/page/deposit | the per-object handling threshold the record carries is still 2 GB |
| 2026-11-01 | user.clarin.eu/user/register | the account the repository sends non-eduGAIN depositors to requires an e-mail address and a password and leaves the 'Academic account' box optional, so an e-mail address is the identity it asks for |
| 2026-11-01 | forum.clarin.eu/t/how-does-the-registration-process-work/275 | the manual check tests for an academic address and, when the address is not academic, reads the motivation instead of rejecting the request |
| 2026-11-01 | user.clarin.eu/user/register | an academic address is recommended for maximal access rights and fast approval, not required |
| 2026-11-01 | www.clarin.si/repository/xmlui/page/faq | the repository's own FAQ points a depositor without an academic account to the open CLARIN registration |
| 2026-11-01 | www.clarin.si/repository/xmlui/page/deposit | the repository's own deposit guide states the free offer, the login gate, the editorial review and the 2 GB handling threshold |
| 2026-11-01 | www.clarin.si/repository/xmlui/page/deposit | the deposit guide states the per-object handling threshold on the page the record treats as its offer |
| 2026-11-01 | www.clarin.si/repository/xmlui/page/deposit | the 2 GB per-object handling threshold and the editorial review are unchanged on the deposit guide |
