The HAL platform hosts various portals

Virtual collections in HAL
The difference with portals: The same metadata set the same deposit interface
Criteria for creating collections? Laboratories/Institutions Congresses Project
BUT for display only Browsing Customizing interface

The DRIVER project
Objectives: The design of an infrastructure for digital repositories Proof of concept : National networks of institutional repositories
PartnersUniversity of Athens (Gr) University of Bielefeld (Ger)CNR (It)SURF (NL)University of Nottingham (UK)
Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (Fr) University of Bath (UK)University de Warsaw (Pol) University of Ghent (Be)University of Göttingen (Ger)

5 National networks
From 5 countries with different IR networks history UK : SHERPA Belgium : under construction Netherlands : DAREnet Germany : DINI France : Archives-Ouvertes
August 2007 9
An infrastructure to connect « digital repositories »
Distributed OAI-PMH, including DC-based guidelines Service oriented architecture (SOA)
To facilitate the creation of services For access, customization etc (eg. The DRIVER demonstrator) To support research communities

Problem: how do you share collection structure?
In HAL, OAI sets But does not share set description : OAI sets are metadata
collections (see DLF Forum Spring 2006 presentation M. Foulonneau, C. Arms, S. L. Shreeves)
Membership through the OAI infrastructure
DRIVER guidelines include OAI sets by service provider Textual content in open access
Need to build a Web service access But in DRIVER, membership is not an item property
Registries such as OpenDOAR are based on repository description
