this is what we actually look like
![Page 8: COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f9b33a760da3da068bd3e0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
To position repositories as the foundation for a distributed, globally networked infrastructure for scholarly communication…
![Page 9: COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f9b33a760da3da068bd3e0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
why focus on repositories?
![Page 10: COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f9b33a760da3da068bd3e0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
3 cheers for repositories!

cheer #1:
proven technology, ubiquitous in our institutions
![Page 12: COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f9b33a760da3da068bd3e0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
cheer #2:
strong community support
![Page 13: COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f9b33a760da3da068bd3e0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
cheer #3:
distributed policy control
![Page 14: COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f9b33a760da3da068bd3e0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The working group asserts that:
“The nearly ubiquitous deployment of repository systems in higher education and research institutions provides the foundation for a distributed, globally networked infrastructure for scholarly communication.”
![Page 15: COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f9b33a760da3da068bd3e0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
However, the working group also recognises that:
“…repository platforms are still using technologies and protocols designed almost twenty years ago, before the boom of the Web and the dominance of Google, social networking, semantic web and ubiquitous mobile devices.”

two of the ideas being discussed
![Page 17: COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f9b33a760da3da068bd3e0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1. Being of, not just on The Web
• obvious…but not really done yet
• the ‘splash page’ requiring human mediation is a real problem
• “signposting the scholarly web”• link HTTP headers• http://signposting.org
• RDFa, schema.org bib extensions
• would involve very little or no effort by repository administrators
• a small amount of software development in repository systems
![Page 18: COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f9b33a760da3da068bd3e0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Pro-active repositories
• repositories could become pro-active components in an event-driven scholarly system
• publishing ‘events’ such as the addition of a new resource (paper/dataset/whatever) to one or more notification hubs
• third-party systems ‘subscribing’ to these notifications - many potential applications
• would involve very little or no effort by repository administrators
• modest software developmenthttp://www.paulwalk.net/2015/10/19/the-active-repository-pattern/
![Page 19: COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f9b33a760da3da068bd3e0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
imagine if:
your repository could immediately notify a funder that a compliant open-access paper had been made available, and the funder's system could then easily and automatically retrieve a copy
depositing a dataset into an institutional repository automatically notified a set of data-processing & preservation services
![Page 20: COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021921/58f9b33a760da3da068bd3e0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
many other ideas being discussed
• Discovery• web-friendly repository technologies and architectures• (quasi)peer-to-peer and/or notification pub-sub architectures
• Assessment• overlay services on top of repositories using standardised registration,
open peer-review and quality assessment services• Workflows
• support the full lifecycle of research• cross-repository workflows• automated and continuous publishing of research artefacts
• Impact• reliable and interoperable impact metrics for repository content
