THE FOCUS OF THE DAY Clifford Lynch, Executive Director of the Coalition for Networked =20 Information, will open the day with a thoughtful and high-level =20 perspective of the current repository landscape - the various types =20 that have emerged and the different, yet synergistic missions served =20 by libraries, archives and repositories. Following his perspective =20 will be a series of case studies given by established repositories =20 from around the globe. These studies will provide real-life examples =20= of how and why each repository was developed, how they operate, and =20 how they are handling the diverse issues facing all repositories, =20 whether they be institutional or national, data-oriented or subject-=20 oriented, public or private - issues such as interoperability, =20 standards, scope, user concerns, accessibility, preservation, costs =20 and sustainability, level of openness (access), and the evolution of =20 digital formats. A third session will take a look at two initiatives that directly =20 support the mission of repositories through the development of unique =20= identifiers. These identifiers will play a major role in ensuring =20 ease of access to the record of science. The day will close with a summary wrap-up followed by a facilitated =20= discussion on such key challenges as interoperability, information =20 sharing, and collaboration across repositories. What action is =20 required now to build a secure foundation for the preservation and =20 ease of access to the growing mass of scientific output? Follow-up =20 sessions may be scheduled depending upon the outcome of today=92s =20 workshop. So plan on joining us and add your voice in the development =20= of the future role of repositories.
