<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Thank you for this report. One really important point that is missing is the service of aggregating repositories to act as a link resolver. If you could include
this in your road map, you would do a great service on adding value to repositories, since we can’t rely on Google scholar to act as a comprehensive tool for finding green OA versions of toll access papers.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The idea is not new, it is not rocket science either, but so far too little has been done to keep this on the agenda for repository development.

methods for measuring impact. In parallel, technical developments, especially in communication and interface technologies, facilitate bi-directional data exchange across related applications and systems. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

important trends and their associated action points for the repository community and will assist COAR in identifying priority areas for our interoperability efforts in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
