SORRT, Sustainable Object Repositories for Research and Teaching
A University of Sydney Practices and Testbed project of APSR,
the Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories.
The APSR project is funded by the Australian
Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training, under
the Research Information Infrastructure Framework for Australian Higher
Education, and is sponsored as part of the Commonwealth Government's Backing
Australia's Ability initiative.
The SORRT project addresses and promotes the sustainability of object
repositories as part of e-research (and research-led learning) infrastructure.
SORRT will:
- Develop, test, document and propose a generic sustainable model within
the OAIS framework which can be adopted or adapted for the creation
and management of interoperable discipline-based object repositories.
- Develop interoperable middleware and tools.
- Investigate and document robust business models required to ensure
organisational sustainability and continuity.
- Address issues around citability and publication of new knowledge
generated from these repositories.
The SORRT project is coordinated by the University
of Sydney Library and is a partnership between
- PARADISEC, (Pacific And
Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures).
- ACL, the Archaeological
Computing Lab at the Spatial Science Innovation Unit.
- CIPHE, the Centre
for Innovation in Professional Health Education.
- SETIS, the Library's
Scholarly Electronic Text and Image Service.
