It seems clear that there are a number of infrastructure components… that could
serve a wide range of digital asset management applications, not just institutional
repository systems, and we should be thinking about articulating and designing such
services explicitly as infrastructure that will support this broader context…. A high
priority should be …to try to ensure that disciplinary and institutional efforts are
coordinated, follow common standards and architectures were possible, and evolve
in a complementary fashion. We will need to understand how and when transitions
of materials between institutional and disciplinary systems should take place.
