A presentation given at the Talis Xiphos Research Day, 10 June 2008.

1. Web 2.0 and repositories… … have we got our repository architecture right?

4. What is a repository? a university-based institutional repository is a set of services that a university offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members. It is most essentially an organizational commitment to the stewardship of these digital materials, including long-term preservation where appropriate, as well as organization and access or distribution . … An institutional repository is not simply a fixed set of software and hardware (Cliff Lynch, 2003)

10. #1 We talk about “repositories”…

11. …rather than “the Web” a focus on ‘ making content available on the Web’ would be more intuitive to researchers

24. Things can go two ways… I think that things can go two ways… The Web 2.0 Way or The Semantic Web Way … possibly both

25. Things can go two ways… what would a Web 2.0 repository look like?

26. Like this?
