RepoMMan and Hull’s Institutional Repository

Richard Green

Hull’s vision

Hull’s vision for an Institutional Repository is an extremely broad one

Conventional view was exposure of completed objects

Hull’s encompasses storage, access, management and preservation from concept to completion

Our view is gaining wider acceptance...

The repository grand plan

Security

XACML security can control who does what byobject

object datastream

dissemination method... etc

“Staff can access UoH Std images BUT only through and approved disseminator and they cannot access the archive or full-size images”

Content models and security

For security and distribution purposes, “public” documents need to conform to a standard structure: a content modelUoH standard colour image model

UoH standard public document model

etc

These exist in a very early draft for development

Workflow

aim is to provide storage, access, management and potential preservation painlessly

the repository will be a working environment as well as a showcase

automation of repository processes (file handling, auto-metadata) is progressing

Coming next

Summer: we hope to have a demonstrator of some of the workflow processes for researchers – working through the University Portal and the Sakai C&LE

Autumn: turn our attention to administrative and T&L needs.
