Review of Repository Infrastructure

Objectives

The objective of this project is to determine how improvements to repository infrastructure can be made across the sector to increase the findability, accessibility, interoperability and re-usability (FAIR) of Australian-funded research outputs.

Scope

1. Identify an ideal future state including a review of international initiatives such as OpenAire;
2. Create a prioritised list of enhancements for findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability.
3. Seek feedback from CAUL members and other stakeholders;
4. Lead the implementation of changes in Australia as required.

Timing: The project has concluded (undertaken in 2018).
