DRIVER Summit Oct 20th, Ghent DRIVER: National portals Use cases: Belgium & Spain Karen Van Godtsenhoven & Alicia Lopez-Medina

DRIVER Summit Oct 20th, Ghent National portals in DRIVER: Be & Spain Why have a national portal? Community building between repository managers National funding opportunities Streamlining content delivery to DRIVER & others Collaboration with other national systems, e.g. CRIS Scenarios? 1. Minimal cost: GUI by national consortium, service hosted by Driver 2. Own national portal that interacts with DRIVER IS 3. National consortium acts as main gateway to DRIVER IS, repositories are managed locally 4. Independent national aggregation portal with D-NET

DRIVER Summit Oct 20th, Ghent Belgium 9 repositories via national DRIVER portal Minimal cost set-up (option 1)

DRIVER Summit Oct 20th, Ghent Community building in a divided country Why do people register with DRIVER (from the usability study): Increase content visibility Be part of a European network of peers & learn best practices Later also: to get official validation of repository by external organisation What is the role of the national portal in Belgium? DRIVER repository managers network : ‘glue’ Visibility: DRIVER returns results, logo on page Incentive for new repositories to join DRIVER network, or for institutions to create one Tool for showing government authorities that there is (unfunded) national cooperation

DRIVER Summit Oct 20th, Ghent Future scenario for portal Keep adding new repositories as they ‘get in shape’ Lifespan: as long as the DRIVER IS exists, OR Integration into a national service? Examples: RCAAP (Portugal),NARCIS (NL), Recolecta (Spain)
