A Portal for Doctoral e-theses in Europe; Lessons Learned from a Demonstrator Project: un rapport du consortium hollandais SURF:

"The report gives practical recommendations to improve the interoperability between the service provider and the data supplier. The recommendations are entirely in line with the guidelines of the DRIVER project (www.driver-support.eu). When all repositories support a common metadata format, it is very easy to set up services like the European e-Theses demonstrator portal. Without appropriate agreements on metadata semantics, however, many issues will arise when harvesting metadata of poor quality.
The report may be useful for institutions that wish to show the world the results of their research. By making their material accessible in a standardised manner and using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), they can reach beyond any boundary. "
