WP 2 (repository content) outlookacquisitionlessonswork doneabout WPintroduction Goals and objectives Web services are often trapped in a vicious circle. If a repository is empty, people are not motivated to enter their own data into the repository, therefore, the repository remains empty. The objective of this workpackage is to cut this vicious circle by providing an initial set of content that would establish the resource as a relevant one.
