08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER DRIVER Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research – Essentials –

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER The current situation for digital repositories More than 850 institutional repositories worldwide –Many others: disciplinary, national, … –Many types: Primary data, textual documents, learning materials, multimedia objects, Code etc. –Documents: incl. pre-prints, postprints, technical papers, dissertations, theses –Various repository software

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER Many have the OAI-PMH implemented –small but relevant local specialties Some international registries exist –OpenDOAR, ROAR … Some search engines exist –BASE, OAIster, Google Scholar … What is known about repositories?

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER Collaboration in repositories Very few mature national repository organisations/collaborations Little trans-national repository organisation/collaboration Lack of data harmonization, orchestration of services

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER From the user point of view [ talking about researchers ] Fragmented, obscure information landscape content can be (partly) searched and found quality and re-use differs from repository to repository

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER DRIVER Vision Build a pan-European Digital Repository Infrastructure and provide the European Hub in a Global Repository Network for any type of document, data and object, of any format, involving all European countries and covering all academic disciplines

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER DRIVER – a multi-phase effort PHASE 1 –Mid 2006 to end 2007 –A testbed infrastructure and organisational model –Focus on textual resources PHASE 2 –2008/2009 –A production infrastructure and organisation –Focus on complex objects …

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER DRIVER now! A Digital Repository Infrastructure Test-bed Textual documents from 5 Countries (BE, FR, DE, NL,UK) Distributed, high-quality content provision Distributed software deployment All open and re-usable

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER DRIVER – infrastructural axes Organisational Networking –Forum for stakeholders Data harmonization –Cleaned and enriched „information space“ –Offered for re-use by service providers Service orchestration –Open, distributed, scalable technical architecture –Re-use of existing services –Facilitate interactions between services Organization Data Software

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER Lift to an international scale Aggregator … … search engine

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER Problems remain Building of aggregations is not trivial! An example: Full-text availability –Full-text not homogeneously offered metadata only, jump-off pages, authorization full-text URLs in varying locations

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER Full-text guidelines Help to improve the repository landscape –Support of “sets” –Clear location of URL –Resource harvesting Studies say: –International retrieval –Guidelines

08-OCT-2007 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER Next Steps Help 50+ repositories –Guidelines release –Help Desk (WP8) –… Help more repositories –“DRIVER countries” –other countries –…
