A definition of "subject repository"

A discussion on the JISC conference site prompted me to suggest a definition of "subject repository" which I hope might be useful in discussing the place of services like PhilPapers: A subject repository is a repository of research outputs (and possibly metadata about such outputs) whose primary mission is to give end users access to all and only the research content available in a given subject. For the purposes of this definition, a subject can be as vast as the mathematical sciences or as narrow as any dissertation topic. Of course, some services we're inclined to label as subject repositories impose subject-independent constraints on their content (e.g. open access availability). That's why I inserted the "primary mission" qualification--this allows that some SRs have auxilarity requirements which impose some limitations on what content they aggregate.

Study of Documents and Manuscripts : JISC

After testing the pilot within epigraphical and papyrological communities the context of the VRE will be extended to address the wider needs of documentary and manuscript scholars working within the humanities. By deploying the VRE for use by other interested researchers the project will test the degree to which VRE tools can be re-used by other disciplines. The project will link to a related VRE at the University of Reading VERA 1 supporting research in archaeology at the Silchester Roman Town. By treating documents as artefacts with an original archaeological or physical context, the two projects will demonstrate the benefit of Virtual Research Environments in providing seamless access to a richer range of research data and tools.

A Virtual Research Environment framework for Cancer Imaging — OeRC

"A Virtual Research Environment Framework for Cancer Imaging" (VRE-CI) project is part of phase three of the VRE programme funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) to provide a framework to allow researchers and clinicians involved in Cancer Imaging to share information, images and algorithms. It will achieve this by building on the Research Information Centre (RIC) developed for bioscience researchers by the British Library and Microsoft Corporation. Within this project we will leverage the work that is underway in a Microsoft funded project on cancer imaging and expand the RIC to include the capability to adopt and adapt imaging algorithms through the use of the Microsoft Trident Workflow Workbench . The collaboration includes researchers at the Oxford e-Research Centre , information engineers, clinicians at the Churchill hospital and researchers in the Department of Radiology, Oncology and Biology together with developers at Microsoft Corp.

SysMO | Home

SysMO is a European transnational funding and research initiative on "Systems Biology of Microorganisms". The goal pursued by SysMO is to record and describe the dynamic molecular processes going on in unicellular microorganisms in a comprehensive way and to present these processes in the form of computerized mathematical models. Systems biology will raise biomedical and biotechnological research to a new quality level and contribute markedly to progress in understanding.
