The Repository Bridge project Sally Mcinnes, NLW

The Repository Bridge project aims to improve e-theses submission in Wales through collaboration among various stakeholders led by Sally McInnes. Initiated in 1994, it addresses key issues like information sharing, resource discovery, and publication challenges. The project, funded by JISC, focuses on creating a sustainable framework that supports electronic theses using frameworks like D-Space and Fedora, ensuring long-term preservation and compliance with intellectual property rights. The goal is to reduce duplication, improve retrieval costs, and facilitate greater research exposure.

  2. Structure • Background • Issues • Challenges • Requirements • Aims

  3. Background • Interest in E-theses submission since 1994 • FAIR programme 2002 • Seminar in 2004 • Group established in Wales

  4. Issues with e-theses • Requires a collaborative approach between stakeholders • Provides greater research exposure • Reduction in duplication • Improved resource discovery • Multiple access • Space savings/costs of binding • Information sharing • Reduced retrieval costs

  5. Challenges • Requires technical support • Differing software software • Interoperability and standards • Finding aid • Intellectual property rights • Thread of plagiarism • Cultural change • Publication issues • Digital preservation strategy

  6. Requirements • Ensuring that the regulations permit e-theses submission • Implementing procedures to enable submission • Developing metadata schemas to enable resource discovery • Access and security protocols • Intellectual property rights • Procedures for transfer to repository • Long- term preservation of e-theses

  7. Aim of Bridge project • Provided a link between D-Space and Fedora • Funded by JISC • Successful
