CIARD Routemap to Information Nodes and Gateways (RING) is the global registry that aims to increase the visibility and use of web-based services and information resources in agricultural research for development, like document repositories, OAI providers, bibliographic databases, RSS feeds and many more.  All services are described in detail and categorized according to the use and interoperability features. Currently the RING contains 816 services and 414 providers. 

Anybody can register a new service in the RING, provided that you are responsible for the service or authorized by a responsible person. Simply create an account, log-in and register your service.
