It is increasing the use of the Internet to store specific information, giving primacy to a better organization and availability of such data in a structured and simple way, allowing cooperation between the scientific community and its evolution over time. Is in these context that this project appears. With it I intend to present the design of Repository and Web Services, whose role is to manage his content. This conception was part of the European project, Epiwork, which aims to create a prediction, detection and simulation system of epidemics outbreaks temporal and spatially localized. I intend to respond to the needs felt in the first version whether the repository or the web services. The repository is designed in Fedora Commons with an authentication and authorization system of users and objects in the repository. This repository has as a graphical content management, the Drupal system. It uses all the features that Web services offer by providing an enjoyable navigation and content management of epidemiological data. The web services mediate between users (especially applications) and the repository and were implemented with a RESTful interface that provides several services which allowed a better data management. This system allows interoperability between other repositories, where the OAI-ORE approach was implemented and the integration of the OAI-PMH protocol. The development of this project opens possibilities for future capabilities system expansion.
