Vision
• European and worldwide research output (publications and data sets ) is openly accessible through institutional repositories
• Interoperability ensures the automated aggregation of all scholarly research output into one virtual open knowledge base
• Open content enables service providers to provide a wide range of end-user services to researchers (search, browse, profiling, visualisation, citation, impact metrics…)
• API’s enable the linking and interaction of publications with any type of digital data and objects (e.g. primary data, films, language recordings, learning courses, digital artefacts etc.)

User community
DRIVER infrastructure supports three groups of users:
1. The repository manager2. The service provider3. The e-research community
Interoperability
• Policy formulation– Confederation
• Guidelines – Data conformity
• Repository services– Registration, aggregation, domain-specific
• Robust technical infrastructure– Tools and services
9
Guidelines
• Objectives
– Policy development– Improved services– Additional functionality– Check conformance– Validation
• Components
– Collections (sets)– DC Metadata– OAI - PMH– OAI - ORE
Work in Progress
• Improvement: full-text access
• Enhanced publications
• Metadata Expert Group– dynamic, voluntary, wiki
• Standards & interoperability in IRs– aggregator‘s perspective e.g. BASE
– lightweight
• Support, certification

Technical infrastructure
D-NET v.1.0 released under the Open Source Apache License on the 20 June 2008
DRIVER Network Evolution Toolkit includes:
• Repository network administration software (such as the Repository Network Manager, Resource Monitoring)
• End-user services (Search, Browse, Profiling)
• Support service to local repository managers and aggregators (Validation Tool)
15
Challenges
• Local interpretation
• Access to full text
• Persistent identifiers
• National aggregators
• Long term preservation
• Technical support
Conclusion
• Interoperability key to Open Access – Robust technical infrastructure
– Improved services to repository community
– Guidelines
– Policy development
