Re: [EP-tech] Open Repositories - What have you been doing with EPrints?

I have done a none EPrints thing that maybe is worth a mention... it's inspired by the work Adam Field did around using EPrints for "microrepositories" which was using EPrints primarily as a database of records from a research dataset. It was really good for the user experience but very resource intensive to set up, and usually the content never changed once the project ended.

My idea was to make a pure (lower case P!!!) _javascript_ repository, using the same ideas as EPrints, but making everything happen in a single webpage. You can see the results here http://www.fmc.ac.uk/mitset/#/ and my article about it here http://blog.soton.ac.uk/webteam/2019/01/30/pure-_javascript_-microrepository-planning-for-sustainable-websites/

My long term idea would be to make a tool that built these repositories. Back in the day it'd have made a wonderful JISC project.

The best bit? You can upload it into "real" EPrints as a document containing the HTML, JSON and _javascript_ to make it interactive...

Hi,

Next Tuesday there is a 'Repository Rodeo' session as part of the Open Repositories online conference.

I'll be presenting a few slides about EPrints - what it is, where it's going etc.

 

I've got a good grasp on UK based activities, and keep an eye on https://github.com/eprints/ and https://github.com/eprintsug/ - but have *you* been doing anything with EPrints that is worth a mention?

 

Cheers,

John
