User perspective One click deposit, into repository publication workflow Full control on what being deposited Friendly suggestion on what could be deposited Automatic metadata extraction Optional manual metadata input
Leeds to better m/d Depends on amount of detail input (may require specific
plug-in for specific repository) But adds more 'clicks' to the deposit process
