| Abstract: | The SVEP project, funded by the Swedish Royal Library's department for National Coordination and Development (BIBSAM), has as its overall mission the coordination of academic electronic publishing in Sweden. One of the goals of the project is the development and practical implementation of a generalized archiving workflow between a local repository and a national archive. In doing this, we will attempt to accommodate the variety of publishing platforms and systems currently used by Swedish universities. This new workflow will be based on the use of URN:NBN as an unique identifier. We will also develop a basic technical infrastructure to support the transmission of dissemination and submission information packages (DIP/SIP in OAIS parlance) between university repositories and the National Library Archive. A primary objective of SVEP is to ensure long-term access to theses and dissertations produced at Swedish universities. Therefore, we will also attempt to determine the minimum level of preservation metadata required to support archiving and subsequent discovery of these documents. Because the DiVA Project has already produced systems to support some of these activities, these solutions will be used as a starting point for the project. Considering the lack of practical implementations of solutions supporting long-term preservation and access within the library community, we believe the results of this project will be broadly useful. |
