First DRIVER Summit: Towards a Confederation of Digital Repositories
16-17 January 2008 Goettingen, Germany
http://www.driver-support.eu/multi/DRIVERSummit.php
DRIVER responds to the vision that all relevant scientific content should be
easily accessible through internet-based infrastructures. Achieving this
vision reaches beyond technology - it is also the organisational dimension
that allows a stable and trusted network of content providers. DRIVER is
working with repository federations in Europe, and reaches out to further
international communities (for example in the US, China, India, and Africa)
in order to determine the practical requirements for a confederation of
digital repositories.
