The JISC Digital Repositories Programme (DRP) JISC in the United Kingdom has a coordinating and development effort centered on digital repositories, which examines range of technical, evaluation, administration, social, business, and policy issues surrounding their development. More information can be found at: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=programme_digital_repositories In particular, I would like to point you to a Wiki that they run and within that a brief but useful list of frequently asked questions on digital repositories and related issues with the following contents: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/repositories/digirep/index/FAQs 1 Are there any lists, directories or registries of digital repositories in the UK, or worldwide? 2 Where can I find metadata mappings and crosswalks for difference metadata standards? 3 How to facilitate Google crawling 4 Can you provide any advice about unique identifiers for teaching, learning and research materials? 5 Can you recommend workflow mapping software? The last item is particularly informative as a quick summary of software choices that will help you express a workflow -- something we need to do more and more in our various projects and programs.
