Background
Issues
Institutional Repositories
growing to showcase their
outputs e.g. research
Complementary to subject
based repositories e.g arXiv
Collaborative approach of OAI
enables international search
services
OAIS provides a framework for
preservation-based services
• Improved processes need to be offered to repository authors and administrators to fulfill
preservation responsibilities
• IRs must be sustainable
• IRs represent a variety of materials and formats
• Other organisations have preservation expertise
Evaluating with the Southampton and
Oxford institutional repositories :
• Adapting EPrints software to allow the
collection and dissemination of
preservation-oriented metadata to
supplement the current bibliographic
information
• Linking EPrints software to the
PRONOM file format registry created at
The National Archives
• Augmenting EPrints software to
support ingest into an OAIS based
preservation service
The British Library and Southampton
University will build and test an
exemplar preservation service
