In order to inform forthcoming discussion on Deposit API for repositories,
the JISC DR support team invites submission of appropriate scenarios and
use cases to the DigiRep wiki.
As part of the Digital Repositories Programme Support activity we are
facilitating a meeting later in February between developers of repository
software to discuss a common approach to a Deposit API i.e. agreement on
standards and protocols for an interface to support automated deposit into
repositories. For more details of the background to this meeting see
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/repositories/digirep/index/Deposit_API
It would be very helpful for this meeting to have background information
on requirements for the interface between repositories and applications
within institutions and the wider information landscape. For example a
single repository, or multiple repositories, might interact with VLEs,
authoring tools, packaging tools, and research systems.
The DigiRep wiki is set up to support gathering of scenarios and use
cases from JISC projects, and we would welcome links to scenarios and use
cases located elsewhere - see

many thanks
