1. Building a Network of European Scientific Repositories Wolfram Horstmann Universität Bielefeld

2. DRIVER Motivation Scholarly communication changes towards distributed provision of text, data and services Repositories are thought as a saviour in this development An infrastructure supporting distributed repositories and services is needed

3. DRIVER Objectives Organisational structure for repositories e.g. the „Confederation“ Improving quality and standards in local rep. e.g. validation procedures Building a distributed runtime system e.g. service and data sharing Target Groups Repository Managers Service Providers Information System Executives
