A post was recently released at the Repositories Support Project (RSP) blog summarizing the joint RepNet/RSP “Supporting and enhancing your repository” workshop held in London last Mon Jan 16th. The post described the findings collected from the four breakout sessions held during the event – covering the four main areas (Reporting and benchmarking, Deposit, Metadata Enhancement and Repository platforms) that were identified as critical for IR network enhancement purposes.

The release of the draft RIOXX metadata application profile was announced during this event at the BSC, together with the available and upcoming CrossRef tools for automatically implementing such enhanced metadata standard into IRs.
