Repositories Research Team
As part of the Digital Repositories Programme, JISC have established the Repositories Research Team (RRT). RRTs remit is quite wide and includes helping projects find and exploit synergies across the programme and beyond, gathering scenarios and use cases from projects, liaising with other national and international repositories activities, including liaison with the e-Framework, synthesizing project and programme outcomes, and engaging with interoperability standards activity and repository architectures.
The Repositories Research Team is a collaboration between two JISC Innovation Support Centres UKOLN and CETIS. UKOLN have worked previously on repositories in a number of contexts including ePrints UK, the Open Archives Forum and Delos, and CETIS, the JISC Centre for Educational Technology and Interoperability Standards, has considerable experience in supporting the development of digital repositories for e-learning. The members of the support team are identified below.

Digital Repositories Support
The Repositories Research Team is the new name for the Digital Repositories Support team (DRS). This change reflects the changing focus and priorities for our work, away from project support toward research and synthesis activities.

Projects
There are 25 projects falling within the original 03/05 Digital Repositories Programme. Further information about each project is available on the Projects page. Projects are distributed throughout the UK and have been gathered into several cluster groups intended to be ways to help projects explore and build communities of practice both within and beyond the repositories programme. Further information about the clusters is available from the Clusters page.
