VIF Recommendations:
VIF Workshop 22nd April 2008www.lse.ac.uk/library/vif
• Be clear on what you want to you your repository for and what you want it to handle
• Consider what sort of version confusion could arise from your repository
• Get the right software and exploit its functionality
Strategy

Policy
• What do you consider to be a version? • How will versions be organised in the repository? • What versions will your repository keep? • Ingest policy?• OpenDOAR

FRBR and Different Object types
• FRBR: Work, Expression, Manifestation and Item
• This structure allows objects to be linked in relationships to the unifying concept of ‘work’
• More and more objects that aren’t simple text are being deposited in repositories, such as data, learning objects, audio and video.
• Make policy decisions about how these will be stored, what formats and where.

Metadata, Ingest Process
• Metadata is being discussed next door – the framework has detailed suggestions on what information to put in metadata and how to expose metadata better.
• Ingest is the best opportunity to clarify version status directly with the content creator. Can this be done automatically? Methodically? What questions to ask?
• Check for duplication within home repository and, if possible, external repositories.

Advocacy
• Obviously getting people to deposit in the first place is hard enough, let alone getting them to worry about versioning.
• However, there is much advice and support for content creators that can help their own versioning habits.
• Suggest that content creators look at the Content Creation section of the Framework (more on that later).
• The VIF flyer introduces headline recommendations and advice to help work be recognised and identified correctly.
• Distribute copies of the VERSIONS project Toolkit, to your academics; it is aimed at authors and content creators.
