Open Access – Repository Interoperability

Since repository interoperability is paramount in order to achieve the goals of Open Access, it is a focal point for the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR). This project is one of several tactics designed to promote the repository community’s understanding of the interoperability landscape, share current best practices, and provide knowledge and information necessary to chart and implement institutional strategies for interoperability that profit from the services made available through interoperability initiatives. This report is designed to be the first stage of a multi-phase process aiming to establish the COAR Roadmap for Interoperability.
