Background
• Interest in E-theses submission since 1994
• FAIR programme 2002
• Seminar in 2004
• Group established in Wales
Issues with e-theses
• Requires a collaborative approach between stakeholders
• Provides greater research exposure• Reduction in duplication• Improved resource discovery• Multiple access• Space savings/costs of binding• Information sharing• Reduced retrieval costs
Challenges
• Requires technical support• Differing software software• Interoperability and standards• Finding aid • Intellectual property rights• Thread of plagiarism• Cultural change• Publication issues• Digital preservation strategy
Requirements
• Ensuring that the regulations permit e-theses submission
• Implementing procedures to enable submission• Developing metadata schemas to enable
resource discovery• Access and security protocols• Intellectual property rights• Procedures for transfer to repository• Long- term preservation of e-theses
Aim of Bridge project
• Provided a link between D-Space and Fedora
• Funded by JISC
• Successful

• Use METS Meta data
• Will store: – Digitised Images– Digital Archives– TV Recordings– Websites?

• National Electronic Thesis Repository
• Uses Qualified Dublin Core Metadata
• Collaboration between:– British Library– 7 Scottish and English Universities – NLW– And others

METS• Metadata & Encoding for Transmission Standard• Package for other MD types• Contains:
– Descriptive Meta Data • mods on digital copy • relationship information to other objects in Fedora
– Administrative Meta Data • technical meta data • premis admin data including checksums, and relationships between data streams • link to MARC record in Virtua
– Digital Providence • List of actions that have occurred to the object • List of agents who ran the software / versions of the software used
– File Sec • List of Data streams linking above sections to particular data streams
– Structural Map • First one allows display via a METS viewer type application • Subsequent ones are linked to Disseminators
