Repository of Access Grid Collaborative Events (RACE) University of Manchester - Final Report

Abstract

This project was to develop a digital repository service of collaborative research events such as seminars, conferences, workshops, performances, and training and teaching events. The repository service aims were to archive such sessions and allow the content to be searched, browsed through and retrieved via existing and established repository search services. The main features were: − Set up a repository service for Access Grid (next generation of video conferencing) collaborative events. − Define a metadata element set appropriate for AG data that allows for efficient discovery. − Produce a set of recommendations regarding potential modifications to the AG recording software being developed within the context of the JISC-funded CREW project. − Achieve successful and efficient integration with the Intute Repository Search Service via CRE
