    Press Release

    Digital Repository Federation (Japan) and DRIVER sign Memorandum of Agreement

    3 December 2008
    Sapporo, Japan and Goettingen, Germany - As part of the SPARC Digital Repositories Meeting 2008
    held in Baltimore Maryland from 17-18 November 2008, DRF (Japan) and DRIVER have agreed to work
    closely together on promoting federated repository infrastructures, signing a Memorandum of
    Understanding to take this collaboration forward.

    DRIVER is a joint initiative of European stakeholders, co-financed by the European Commission,
    setting up a technical infrastructure for digital repositories and facilitating the building of
    an umbrella organisation for digital repositories. DRIVER relies on research libraries for the
    sustainable operation of repositories and provision of high quality content through digital
    repositories.

    Digital Repository Federation (DRF) is a federation consisting of 86 universities and research
    institutes which aims to promote Open Access and Institutional Repository development in Japan.
    Under the auspices of the National Institute of Informatics (NII), Tokyo, DRF is a collaborative
    program for institutional repositories, based on one of the research and development projects of
    the national framework of Cyber Science Infrastructure (CSI).

    DRF and DRIVER share the vision that the Open Access movement in Europe and in Japan contribute
    to better scholarly communication in the world; and that each should contribute actively and
    cooperatively to a global, interoperable, trusted and long-term data and service infrastructure
    based on Open Access digital repositories.

    Collaboration between DRF (Japan) and DRIVER is framed by their joint support for an Open Access
    model for repositories in research and higher education institutions. They present a common strategy
    to enable research libraries -  pressed to improve scholarly communication by establishing digital
    repositories  - to expose institutional research outputs to the world. Networks of individual
    repositories and overarching information services for aggregation, retrieval, share and re-use are
    being built on the basis of institutional, national and regional location, or by subject areas.

    Norbert Lossau, Scientific Technical Co-ordinator of DRIVER, said 'The collaboration between the
    organizational structures of both DRIVER and DRF forms the nucleus of federated repository development
    of a global, interoperable, trusted and long-term repository infrastructure. We are very pleased to
    formalize our relationship by signing this Memorandum of Understanding.'

    Masaaki Hemmi, the Director of DRF, said 'No doubt the coalition of DRF and DRIVER will lead to the
    best and widest dissemination of joint enterprises between researchers, who turn out scholarly fruits,
    and librarians, who manage digital repositories in every corner of the world. Nothing pleases me more
    than the start of our collaborative activities.'
