−	The ~~purpose~~ of this ~~aspect~~ of the Kultivate Project was ~~to develop~~ a ~~containers module~~ for ~~EPrints~~	+	Repository Administrators and Editors can use this package to group together ePrints into one or more containers. The name of the container could be a large project for example; this then links to one or more ePrints in the repository. Containers can be hierarchical, enabling the stacking of several project containers within a Unit of Assessment for the REF container for example. The advantage of this is that the top level container will inherit information from the nested containers. A browse feature displays the relationships between the containers.
		+
		+	Kultivate Project Containers also enable the creation of new items from an existing container. When a new item is created this saves data entry by including information from the container including the users as creators and the subjects, funders, divisions and category fields.
		+
		+	This package was developed for the Visual Arts Data Service (VADS), a Research Centre of the University for the Creative Arts as part of the JISC funded Kultivate project (2010-11). More information is available here: http://www.vads.ac.uk/kultur2group/projects/kultivate/
