DRIVER
Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research.
DRIVER is an EU-funded project which sets out to build a testbed for a future knowledge infrastructure of the European Research Area. DRIVER, with ten European partners, aims to deliver any form of scientific output, including scientific/technical reports, working papers, pre-prints, articles and original research data to the various user groups.
The main objectives of DRIVER are:
1. To organise and build a virtual, European scale network of existing institutional repositories.
2. To assess and implement state-of-the-art technology, which manages the physically distributed repositories as one large scale virtual content resource.
3. To assess and implement a number of fundamental user services.
4. To identify, implement and promote a relevant set of standards.
5. To prepare the future expansion and upgrade of the DR infrastructure across Europe and to ensure widest possible involvement and exploitation by users.
