What We Mean When We Say “Repositories”: User Expectations of Repository Systems

, and .
The Academic ADL Co-Lab, Madison, WI, (July 2004)

Abstract

As part of a larger project to develop repository tools and resources, the Academic ADL Co-Lab conducted a series of informal surveys, surveying partners, project representatives, and interested parties regarding the functionalities they expected and preferred to find within a repository system. We initially defined a repository as “a system that stores electronic objects and meta-data about those objects.” Responses to the survey revealed that many respondents expected repositories to deliver a number of functionalities not included in our strict definition of “repository,” but which existing projects or software may have led them to expect.
