Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research
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
What is known about repositories?
• 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 …
Collaboration in repositories
• Very few mature national repository
organisations/collaborations
• No trans-national repository
organisation/collaboration
• Lack of data harmonization, orchestration
of services
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
Need for Repository
Infrastructure
• Organisational Networking
– Forum for stakeholders
• Data harmonization
– Cleaned and enriched „information space“
– Offered for re-use by service providers
Organisation
Data
• Software orchestration
– Open, scalable technical architecture
– Re-use of existing services
– Facilitate interactions between services
Software
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

A Digital Repository Infrastructure Testbed
• Textual documents
• from 5 Countries (BE, FR,GE, NL,UK)
• Distributed, high-quality content provision
• Distributed software deployment
• All open and re-usable

“Make it workable”
• Focus on existing repositories and
services
• Focus on Institutional Repositories
– Rapid progress over the last years
– Inherent sustainability (e.g. libraries)
– Adequate technical homogeneity (OAI-PMH)
• Focus on textual materials
• Focus on specific (test-bed) countries
Networking test-bed
• 5 countries

for networking

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
Full-text guidelines
• Help to improve the
repository landscape
– Support of “sets”
– Clear location of URL
– Resource harvesting
• Studies say:
– International retrieval
– Guidelines
Next Steps

EU Knowledge Infrastructural Vision
• Build and maintain a sustainable European
environment where content and
functionality resources can be openly
shared and integrated for use by any
Application
• Sustainability means:
- Maintainability, Scalability, Reusability
Service-based Repository Systems
• Environment and tools for building servicebased Repository Systems
– Sets of services running at different network sites,
possibly in multiple instances, interacting,
dynamic, sharable, open
European Information Space
• Includes the DRIVER Repository System
– Providing registered users with advanced
functionalities over a uniform European
Information Space formed by aggregating
multiple Repositories
• Repositories
– Can join or leave the infrastructure at any time
– Are dynamically/automatically aggregated to
populate and keep updated the DRIVER
Information Space
Run-Time DRIVER Infrastructure
• European Information Space Repository System
– Scalable, reusable, self-maintained

Repository network manager
• Manage clusters of repositories
• Build a regional, national thematic data
network
– Re-use collections
• Develop individual GUIs
Repository platform developer
• Align developments with DRIVER
– Better harvesting
– Data quality
– Service integration
Service Provider
• Integrate service into DRIVER infrastructure
• Benefit from service orchestration
• Allow to „speak“ with other services
Service Developer
