Open, self organising repository for scientific information exchange

01.02.2002 - 31.12.2005
Research funding project
The SciX-demonstrator repositories - which were developed in this EU-project - have shown, that digital libraries related to specific academic areas are used by the corresponding scientific community. Setting up a SciX digital library causes minimal efforts of time. Adaptation towards the needs of individual associations is possible through its modular architecture. Scientific associations and their individual members are encouraged to contribute their scientific information to a repository and typical grey literature, for example conference proceedings, would become accessible. As soon as a critical mass has been gathered, the interest to use this will grow. Self-organization can be regarded as a stimulation to fill the repository with minimal investment of time. TUW was responsible for the acquisition of content and supported the following digital libraries in the framework of this project: ¿ architektur-informatik.scix.net ¿ cumincad.scix.net ¿ elpub.scix.net ¿ iaps.scix.net ¿ raumplanung.scix.net
