ABOUT

The present proposal (`DRIVER Phase-II') aims to introduce key innovations compared to the original `DRIVER' project, while building on its results. The main novelties envisioned are: Establishment of a “European Confederation of Digital Repositories'' as a strategic arm of DRIVER; Inclusion of Digital Repositories with non-textual or non-publication content; Construction of “enhanced publications'', which combine interrelated information objects into a logical whole; Provision of advanced functionality to address the requirements raised by the above innovations or to serve varied modes of scientists' research explorations.

Note: The information is gathered through publicly published About pages of the original websites of the projects or through CORDIS (Community Research and Development Information Service), unless stated otherwise.
