# Capture the essence

The OpenAIRE Content Provider Dashboard is a one-stop-shop web service where data providers (repository, data archive, journal, aggregator, CRIS system) interact with OpenAIRE. It provides the front-end access to many of OpenAIRE’s backend services.

## Validation & Registration

The OpenAIRE Validator service allows to test your repository’s compatibility with the OpenAIRE Guidelines. If validation succeeds the data source can be registered for regular aggregation and indexing in OpenAIRE. OpenAIRE allows for registration of institutional and thematic repositories registered in OpenDOAR, research data repositories registered in re3data, individual e-Journals, CRIS, aggregators and publishers.

The Validator service includes two main steps to perform the aggregation and indexing of your datasource in OpenAIRE:

### 1st: Validate your datasource

Test the compatibility of your repository/journal or aggregator to the OpenAIRE guidelines. If validation succeeds the data source can be registered for regular aggregation and indexing in OpenAIRE.

### 2nd: Register your datasource

Register your literature repository, data repository, journal or aggregator in OpenAIRE.

Once registered in OpenAIRE, the data source manager are able to use the Provide functionalities to validate their data source compatibility with the OpenAIRE Guidelines, to get notification to enrich their research results with additional or missing metadata, and to track the data source usage activity.
