A centre of expertise in digital information management
JISC Digital Repositories support
• Repositories Research Team (with CETIS)
– Roadmap
– Use cases and scenarios, workflow exemplars
– Dublin Core Application Profile for ePrints (+ Eduserv)
• Requirements: richer metadata set, support for value-added
services, version identification, appropriate copy (OA), citations
• Based on FRBR
• Data model for scholarly works
• Application profile includes simple and qualified DC properties
– Deposit API (GNU eprints, Dspace, Fedora)
• Standard deposit interface to repositories
– OAIS Reference Model Evaluation
– Contributions to e-Framework: Service usage and
service genres
– DigiRep Wiki

The application profile
• simple DC properties (the usual suspects … )
– identifier, title, abstract, subject, creator, publisher, type,
language, format
• qualified DC properties
– access rights, licence, date available, bibliographic citation,
references, date modified
• new properties
– grant number, affiliation institution, status, version, copyright
holder
• properties from other schemes
– funder, supervisor, editor (MARC relators)
– name, family name, given name, workplace homepage,
mailbox, homepage (FOAF)
• clearer use of existing relationships
– has version, is part of
• new relationship properties
– has adaptation, has translation, is expressed as, is manifested
as, is available as
• vocabularies
– access rights, entity type, resource type and status

Institution Library &
Information Services
Some issues:
– Populating institutional
repositories……
– Inter-disciplinary variations in
workflow: deposit, search etc.
– Interoperability across
repository federations
– Acceptance & deployment of
common schema by repository
services
– Schema for images, geospatial data, time-based media?
– Complexities of harvesting:
simple vs rich DC
