Structure • Background • Issues • Challenges • Requirements • Aims
Background • Interest in E-theses submission since 1994 • FAIR programme 2002 • Seminar in 2004 • Group established in Wales
Issues with e-theses • Requires a collaborative approach between stakeholders • Provides greater research exposure • Reduction in duplication • Improved resource discovery • Multiple access • Space savings/costs of binding • Information sharing • Reduced retrieval costs
Challenges • Requires technical support • Differing software software • Interoperability and standards • Finding aid • Intellectual property rights • Thread of plagiarism • Cultural change • Publication issues • Digital preservation strategy
Requirements • Ensuring that the regulations permit e-theses submission • Implementing procedures to enable submission • Developing metadata schemas to enable resource discovery • Access and security protocols • Intellectual property rights • Procedures for transfer to repository • Long- term preservation of e-theses
Aim of Bridge project • Provided a link between D-Space and Fedora • Funded by JISC • Successful
Repository Bridge Glen Robson gmr@llgc.org.uk
The Project • JISC funded • Partners NLW, UWA and UWS Aberystwyth NLW EThos Swansea Bangor
University of Wales Aberystwyth • http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace/ • Use Qualified Dublin Core Meta data • Stores Research Papers and in the future Electronic Thesis
National Library of Wales • http://dams.llgc.org.uk • Use METS Meta data • Will store: • Digitised Images • Digital Archives • TV Recordings • Websites?
EThos • http://www.ethos.ac.uk/ • National Electronic Thesis Repository • Uses Qualified Dublin Core Metadata • Collaboration between: • British Library • 7 Scottish and English Universities • NLW • And others
