A number of digital repositories are seeking to exemplify the practices and processes necessary to manage content effectively, safely and cost-effectively for longer-term access and use. All use EPrints and between them manage a wide range of content types - science data, arts, teaching and learning, as well as open access research papers - that might be found in the typical institutional repository of the future.
