<br>
See the SONEX blog, <a href="http://sonexworkgroup.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://sonexworkgroup.blogspot.com/</a>, for<br>
information on recent activities on repository-related interoperability<br>
by the SONEX (Scholarly Output Notification and Exchange) workgroup<br>
during last week.<br>
<br>
On Sep 9th the paper 'Handling Repository-Related Interoperability<br>
Issues: The Sonex Workgroup' was presented at the 2nd DL.org workshop<br>
held at the University of Glasgow in conjunction with the 14th European<br>
Conference on Digital Libraries (ECDL'2010). This paper summarizes the<br>
SONEX work on identification and analysis of deposit opportunities for<br>
ingest of research output into repositories, and ongoing projects<br>
implementing such use-cases, as performed along last year. Like the<br>
rest of presentations at the DL.org workshop, the SONEX paper will<br>
shortly be published by Springer in its Lecture Notes for Computer<br>
Science, and it's already available online at:<br>
<a href="http://e-archivo.uc3m.es/handle/10016/9257" target="_blank">http://e-archivo.uc3m.es/handle/10016/9257</a><br>
<br>
The day before this presentation was delivered, SONEX was also part of<br>
a meeting held in London by the JISC-supported Kultur workgroup on<br>
their future development of the Kultivate project (see abstract for<br>
'Kultivating Kultur' presentation by Carlos Silva et al at EPrints User<br>
Group along OR10 last July in:<br>
<a href="http://or2010.fecyt.es/Resources/documentos/eprints/KultivatingKultur.pdf" target="_blank">http://or2010.fecyt.es/Resources/documentos/eprints/KultivatingKultur.pdf</a>).<br>
William Nixon, from the University of Glasgow, and Richard Jones, from<br>
Symplectic Ltd and SONEX, were delivering invited talks on the Enrich<br>
project (WN) and on Symplectic Repository Tools, Sword protocol and<br>
opportunities for Kultur/Kultivate interaction with SONEX (RJ). In<br>
terms of SONEX analysis, the main challenge posed by the<br>
Kultur/Kultivate project, arising from the Creative and Applied Arts<br>
environment, is the specific nature of both their research output and<br>
publishing lifecycle, and they way those should engage with current<br>
analysis on deposit opportunities by the Sonex workgroup.<br>
