Technical description
The EGI Accounting Infrastructure is distributed. At a central level it includes the repositories for the persistent storage of usage records, and a portal for the visualisation of accounting information. The central databases are populated through individual usage records published by the Resource Centres, or through the publication of summarised usage records. The Accounting Infrastructure is essential in a service-oriented business model to record usage information. Accounting data needs to be validated and regularly published centrally.
