DRIVER Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research – Essentials – 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 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER
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 … 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 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 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 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 • … 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 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER
Organization Data Software 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 Meeting: EIFL/DRIVER
