About DART

The DART project will undertake a coordinated program of e-Research requirements analysis, software development, policy and guideline creation and prototyping to investigate how best to:

• collect, capture and retain large data sets and streams from a range of different sources;
• deal with the infrastructural issues of scale, sustainability and interoperability between repositories;
• support deposit into, access to, and annotation by a range of actors, to a set of digital libraries which include publications, datasets, simulations, software and dynamic knowledge representations;
• assist researchers in dealing with intellectual property issues during the research process; and
• adopt next-generation methods for research publication, dissemination and access.

The project description, bid document, an overview presentation (PDF) and progress reports are available from the project documents page. The press-release announcing the funding is also available.
