• Richard Jones: DepositMO project
  • dropbox like interface
  • integrated in Microsoft Office.
• Mark Diggory
  • Changing Branding
  • Presentation of Metadata
  • How well the metadata can be structured in a repository
  • Integration with other storage systems
  • Customization on the workflows
• Richard R?
  • Versioning
  • Relationing technology: linking items and content to each other
• Sarah Shreeves
  • Giving more control to the user communities: delegated administration on steroids
  • Good representation on complex objects
• Adam Field (eprints services)
  • Reporting (getting data out of the repository in a non-publications form)
  • Integration with other websites
  • Search data well
• Bram
  • Statistics for Repository authors to get more traction
  • annual reporting gets more demanding
• Richard
  • Faceted browsing
• Brad mclean
  • Getting things in & managing
  • Getting things OUT again
  • boundaries of a repository are institutional, but ideally you might want to break down those boundaries and make them more disciplinary
• Richard rodgers question: did OAI-PMH failed in this regard?
• Mark Diggory: one problem related to that: missing official taxonomies?
• Elin: problem for disciplines that have no good aggregators yet. It would be a huge motivator for them.
• Richard Jones: Creating ad-hoc sets that can be easily shared
• Bram: the issue is not technical. Which organization will put up the effort & the money to make these big portals possible. (example economists online)
• Stuart Lewis: could not be "one" repository, but different ones. It's a service, not one monolithic thing
• Elin: focus is not about offering storage, but offering assistance with their content and metadata
• Robin: "for completeness" we can include Preservation. Justification for having the repository is that it does the preservation (versus CRIS).
• Stuart: the features for preservation are present only need to be used
• Tim: DSpace enables preservation but doesn't do it , need in itself. Preservation requires people, policies. No technology/system does preservation – it can only enable one to perform preservation activities.
• Jones: Person identifiers
• Diggory: all of your accounts, personal accounts in DSpace?
• Scott: I hate handles
• Rodgers: handle vs internal identifiers. Google Scholars ... handle are the work of the devil (no content in the URL's). Exposing metadata in the URI is the way to go.
• Scott: main point for handle "moving content" to other insititutions is not possible in DSpace.
• Sarah: Handle "forces" a good practice in standardized URI citation.
• Stuart: Academics start to understand DOI. Crossref. Selling handles as DOI's.
