Agenda What is a repository system? How to compare repository systems? What systems are out there? What can we learn from Portugal? (How to introduce a repository system?) This presentation is NOT about recommending you a specific system Project number: 573700-EPP-1-2016-1-PS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP What is a repository system?

Architecture Project number: 573700-EPP-1-2016-1-PS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP Research Output Management in PS Higher Education Architecture Conceptually like any web systems consisting of frontend backend
Example online shopping Project number: 573700-EPP-1-2016-1-PS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP How to compare repository systems? Research Output Management in PS Higher Education Infrastructure Locally hosted solution
own ICT infrastructure required IT staff required Externally hosted solution developers, system administrators outsourcing of infrastructure lack of control where the data is can the external party be trusted? Open source or Proprietary
who owns the code? is it allowed to introduce changes? Community support number of similar instances forum and mailing lists professional support Project number: 573700-EPP-1-2016-1-PS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP Research Output Management in PS Higher Education Front-end Design Out of the box
or development needed? Fedora Commons is just a backend Customisable? branding Multi-lingual support? Mobile-optimized design? Project number: 573700-EPP-1-2016-1-PS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP Research Output Management in PS Higher Education
Content Organization Aggregations and Collections proceedings, department outputs, etc. help in navigating the repository faceted search Metadata what are the default standards? how easy to add another standard? Project number: 573700-EPP-1-2016-1-PS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP

Common survey and report shortcomings Simplifications customisable metadata adding an XML template vs reprogramming the software Not up to date systems evolve fast Superficial deployment mode - sometimes both options exist Zenodo as a service or open source at GitHub
community support check how many posts there are and how fast people got answers Currently no survey to compare them all Project number: 573700-EPP-1-2016-1-PS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP Research Output Management in PS Higher Education Best way is to get your hands dirty Sort out the basics What is the purpose of the repository?
Do I need more than one repository? Which functionality is a must and which one is nice to have? How should the system integrate with the existing infrastructure? Browse through official websites wiki pages GitHub issues mailing lists Contact people who already have an instance Make test deployment of few systems

Hosting Service for Institutional Repositories (SARI) Software as a Service Centrally hosted hardware, hosting, connectivity, foundation systems, applications, security, backup service, monitoring Institution administrates, define policies, gets customization Common Repository Centrally hosted Shared with others Intended to institutions whose scientific production does not justify the
creation of a repository also serves as a incubator repositories. Project number: 573700-EPP-1-2016-1-PS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP Conclusion Research Output Management in PS Higher Education Conclusion Analysed functions Test systems on your own You may need more than one system You may decide on the scope based on domain,
institution, etc. Depends on what skills you have and how much money you have Fedora developed on your own vs paid service Project number: 573700-EPP-1-2016-1-PS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP Research Output Management in PS Higher Education References A comparison of research data management platforms: architecture, flexible metadata and interoperability
