Abstract

Over the past few years, the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) has established the initiative “Aligning Repository Networks” in order to foster global repository interoperability and align policies and practices internationally. This paper outlines several activities to align major repository networks across the globe strategically, technically and on the service level.
