DRIVER Motivation

Scholarly communication changes towards distributed provision of text, data and services

Repositories are thought as a saviour in this development

An infrastructure supporting distributed repositories and services is needed

DRIVER Objectives

Organisational structure for repositoriese.g. the „Confederation“

Improving quality and standards in local rep.e.g. validation procedures

Building a distributed runtime systeme.g. service and data sharing

Target GroupsRepository Managers

Service Providers

Information System Executives
