Our guest speaker Friedrich Summann, CORE Operations Manager, will address issues that can occur for the interconnectivity and visibility of DSpace repositories and will give some recommendations on how to resolve common problems. 

Iryna Kuchma and Milica Ševkušić of the EIFL Open Access Programme will talk about COAR Controlled Vocabularies, which are widely used and increasingly being integrated into repository platforms. Using controlled vocabularies enables repositories to be consistent in describing their resources, helps with search and discovery of content, and allows machine readability of resources. A new version of the Resource Type Vocabulary was released in December 2024. 

Drake Tamale, David Bukenya and Michael Mutebi from our partner, the  Consortium of Uganda University Libraries (CUUL), will talk about their work in upgrading DSpace repositories in Uganda.
