My interest is in e-portfolio repositories, and it does seem to me that
there are issues in storing possibly sensitive personal information,
reflections, etc., not to mention material for high-stakes or summative
assessment, that are not the same as many other basic repository
considerations. Obviously this includes Data Protection Act considerations.
Are these considerations relevant to other uses or variants of
"repositories"? If so, has anyone described or built a framework
encompassing e-portfolio needs?
