Also worth noting that the Scholarly Works Application Profile [1] (also
based on FRBR) is designed to be rich enough to support navigation and
selection of multiple versions of the same work.

> Hi,

> As I understand IRs they are meant to be true repositories of
> research outputs. Any version of full text entered should be
> retained and if/when a newer version of the full text is
> entered it should be as a new item with a new item number.
> However, this leads to duplication of titles (if not content)
> and could cause a problem when the IR is used as the source
> for other services like staff publication lists and annual
> publication lists, etc.

> How many UK IRs keep to the strict repository rule and retain
> all versions? If you don't do you edit/update existing
> records or duplicate and delete older records when new
> versions are added?
