> Interoperation Report
> 
> Over the past year, I have been fortunate to be able to participate
> in an Andrew Mellon Foundation-funded study group chaired by Dale
> Flecker of Harvard and Neil McLean of IMS Australia that has been
> looking at issues involved in the interfaces between digital library
> content management systems (for example, institutional repository
> type systems) and learning or course management systems. Among other
> accomplishments, the group has produced a checklist of reccomended
> repository services, and then examined how a number of operational
> repositories that are deployed today meet this checklist. Note that
> for some systems, like DSPACE or FEDORA, the answer is often "it
> depends on choices made in a local implementation", so this checklist
> should be valuable not only for system designers but for institutions
> that are doing implementation planning for a system of this type.
