In addition serveral other have been added, see [SciCat Instances](https://xwiki.desy.de/xwiki/bin/view/IT/SciCat/CICD%20Setup/). These help to identify missing features and adopt SciCat to DESY needs.

17 +### Goals for SciCat at DESY
18 +
19 +Goal number one is to provide a useful catalogue to the user at DESY. Useful means - among others -
20 +
21 +* introduce standardised way of defining meta data, FS-EC (under Linus Pithan)
22 +* use SciCat to issue DOIs: in agreement with L start setting up a workflow (involved IT-RIC Tim W)
23 +* provide technical support for instances (IT-InFa)
