The work covered four overlapping strands: user and community requirements, roles and responsibilities, technical architecture and infrastructure, and business and management models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>Interviews, focus groups and a questionnaire were used to elicit the knowledge held. This information was combined with a literature review and reported alongside the proposed models derived from an analysis of the information gathered.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Five distinct groups of end\u2010users were identified and their respective roles and responsibilities identified. Relevant services to serve these groups were also identified and a services model constructed showing the relationships between them. An aggregation model is proposed to support technical development. A range of business models are suggested, each of which may be applicable in different circumstances.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The models contain a series of recommendations for subsequent research and testing to establish the relative merits of the models proposed and develop these further.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The technical model in particular makes a number of practical recommendations for how repositories need to be structured so as to best support end\u2010user services. These are complementary to recommendations on repository management.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The research reported in this paper represents a consolidation of views reported previously, and a novel analysis of this information to assist in taking repository service development further.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/10650750710831510","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,20]],"date-time":"2007-10-20T05:27:44Z","timestamp":1192858064000},"page":"372-381","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Linking repositories"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Chris","family":"Awre","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alma","family":"Swan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022012520310585300_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Awre, C. and Baldwin, C.
