This is the home of the DRIVER guidelines wiki space. Additional informa= tion and translations of the Guidelines are available from the DRIVER website.
DRIVER stands for Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European =
Research. The guidelines have been created in order to solve many problems =
and questions repository managers came across when installing and configuri=
ng their repositories. For every issue there are thousands of solutions, re=

Accessible as been expected on the local level, because service providers h=
ave to tweak the harvest procedure for every single repository making the e=
ffort outweighting the benefits.
To ease the pain for creating interoperable repositories on a European and=
global scale, these DRIVERguidelines have been created by experts and repo=
sitory managers all over Europe; see the Acknowledgements.
The form of a wiki has been chosen for two reasons:
If you would like to review, add or negotiate the details of the DRIVER = Guidelines elements, please use the discussion board on every wiki page.
