The project will produce a set of coherent and analysed recommendations for steps that can be taken to improve the interaction between institutional and subject repositories, with a view both to ameliorating problems and taking advantage of opportunities. Close interaction with the stakeholders will ensure focus and clear identification of costs and benefits. Full use will be made of previous work on for example repository interaction and versions identification.

Close interaction with the stakeholders will ensure focus and clear identification of costs and benefits.
