While it's only one (and probably incomplete) method to do so, we are hoping that by gathering various scenarios from multiple institutions, we are gathering some sense of what type of functionality people require. I understand this factor may, in fact, end up not reflecting the choices that *people* make, but I hope there's some connection between what people state they need, and what software they choose accordingly. Then again, I've always believed that economists are the only ones who really believe that people make rational choices :-) It may be the case that people are simply making choices because they feel compelled to do so, and don't have a road map or guideline for making choices. Without some sort of objective and rigorous analysis, people most probably can not make informed or even consistent decisions. What we are attempting to do is not easy, and requires a fairly unique set of expertise. In other cases, people may not have the resources to conduct a more thorough review.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I would hope that by identifying and delineating relative strengths and weaknesses of various systems, we might encourage developers to refrain from building the entire set of functionality within their particular software, and rather interface with other software that offers complementary functionality.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Regarding the point about researchers as "searcher" as opposed to "author" I would welcome further feedback from you. Would you be willing to develop scenarios that reflect these distinct roles as you see them? I would also be eager to hear what you may have heard from others in response to your original message.

We are working with the DPubS team to include their software as well, and we're also considering if we can include Moodle and LionShare as well. Finally, we have a strong emphasis on digital preservation capabilities for the repositories. The main purpose of our analysis is to examine each of these systems with a transparent, clearly defined methodology beginning with stories or scenarios that are mapped into use cases and what we are calling key events, from which we are defining functional requirements for repositories to support various types of content and uses. In addition to the repositories and applications, we are examining whether JSR-170, OKI DR OSIDs and perhaps an implementation of IMS DRI can support integration of repositories and applications through a generalized interface layer that spans across different services without specific out of band agreements.</SPAN><O:P style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><O:P style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; ">While we haven't included costs information, we have tracked installation issues, features, and other technology matters.
