Costs
In order for CERL to be able to sustainably host your data, there are a few preferred scenarios.
a) you plan to use data hosted by CERL, and want to annotate that data with your own data elements. You are writing a funding proposals to get funding for this project. In that case, it would be good if you contact CERL. We can offer a data entry environment that is similar to the PATRIMONIT database, but tailored with the data field for your own annotations. There is a fee for setting up the database, and an annual fee for some databases support that you might need in the years that your project is running. After your project has ended the data will continue to be made available by CERL.
Setting up your database
The costs of having your database hosted at CERL, are made up of a number of elements. Together, we will explore which of the following work is required.
- Requirements Engineering
- Data modelling
- Data conversion
- Customisation of data presentation
- Interface
- Output/Download formats
- Providing editing facilities
- Indexing
- User support and training
After it is clear what needs doing to ensure the best possible presentation of your data, CERL will provide you with a quote.
Annual fee
Once your database is at CERL, there will be an annual hosting fee. This fee is used to maintain the database hosting environment.
