1 Workshop #1 report Digital repository management Ramon Ros rros@cbuc.es ELAG 2008 Wageningen

2 Topics discussed Preservation Growth of repository (policies). Software/infrastructure Persistent URLs Branding Economic sustainibility of the repository

3 Preservation 1/2 Importance of new standard PDF/A, PDF/? Separate operations: “Production” -> repository Long term preservation Need to select stuff. “Everything” seems impossible. (ex: Facebook)

4 Preservation 2/2 Group recommendations: Gather metadata (and technical metadata). Avoid “exotic” formats Use open solutions Someone have to think about it

5 Growth of repository You need to reach the critical mass, then everything goes smoothly. Ideas: Cream of Science in the Netherlands Make it part of your internal workflow Must be easy for the researcher Small awards (economic or not)

6 Software/infrastructure Still some home made applications Dspace used in 2 institutions Fedora will be in use in other 2 institutions It seems that some institutions could reconsider Fedora in some time. It could be used for preservation also.

7 Persistent URLs Some countries have developed their own “easy” URN but based on standard. You may use DOI but there are costs. Recomendation: It doesn´t matter which system you use, but use one.

8 Economic sustainibility General idea: it is a basic infrastructure, so it has some costs. It should be not just a project. Its here to stay.

9 Branding Maybe the repositories should only be data providers. Most access is done via Google. Mark the document itself (logo, watermark, etc.) Its a managers concern. Authors want to go to international repositories

10 Any question?
