EMBRACE
EMBRACE will enhance the SHERPA-LEAP hosted repositories by improving the service architecture and by migrating the partner repositories from EPrints 2.3 to EPrints 3. The Eprints Application Profile will be implemented for the hosted repositories, and advocated to the other LEAP partners. A tool to embed citations and other information into the text of eprints at deposit will be developed, implemented for the EPrints repositories within the consortium, and made available on an open source basis to the community. A training programme will be arranged to support these technical measures.
EMBRACE will also investigate the challenges of embedding repositories of digital assets in institutional strategy. The espida toolkit will be used as a starting point for a focused investigation encompassing e-prints, e-theses, learning objects and primary data. The project will deliver a toolkit to support the institutional embedding of digital repositories.
