Setting up the PORTULAN / CLARIN repository

This paper aims at sharing the lessons learned at setting up a CLARIN repository based on the META-SHARE software, which we have just used to develop the PORTULAN / CLARIN centre. This paper documents the changes and extensions to META-SHARE that were needed to fulfil the CLARIN requirements for becoming a B-type centre. The main purpose of this paper is to serve as a one-stop guide for teams pondering or having decided to adopt META-SHARE software for setting up their own CLARIN repositories in the future.
