There are different ways of modeling the transformations that can occur on the data - EPrints has import, export and conversion plugins, others describe "asset actions" or "behaviours" and "disseminators". It all amounts to pretty much the same thing - transforming a collection of well-marshalled data into something ore useful to our purposes.<BR/><BR/>Our repository is used for Open Access primarily (that's a high score for Access) but also for research management and research assessment and marketing and promotion.

I am a librarian and so get asked questions all the time. This one was deceptively simple, yet hard to nail down. The question was - <B>"Why would you create a repository?"</B><BR/>I thought they were after uses of repositories - like what you described in your blog for your conference posters. But then as I began to look into it I discovered this is a much broader question. There is the idea that there are "uses" for a repository. These are best described in specific use cases. But then I began to ponder it as an abstract idea. Of all the uses there are specific functionality that you are addressing with a repository. My impression is that one should be able to list the repository utility functions or justifications, and so be able to assign each justification a score to determine the focus of a specific repository.<BR/><BR/>For example: Repository Justifications:<BR/>Storage<BR/>Structure<BR/>Access<BR/>Process<BR/><BR/>Each item can be scored 1-3, 1 being low, 3 being high. The scale describes the usage focus<BR/><BR/>Your Poster Repository:<BR/>Storage -1<BR/>Structure - 3<BR/>Access - 1<BR/>Process - 3<BR/><BR/>I am not sure I have all the Justifications abstracted. I was wondering if you have read anything or know of some information I can read that would go more into this idea?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Morgen Kimbrellmorgenkimbrell@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664442683476368811noreply@blogger.com
