First DRIVER Summit: Towards a Confederation of Digital 
Repositories
16-17 January 2008 Goettingen, Germany
http://www.driver-support.eu/multi/DRIVERSummit.php

DRIVER responds to the vision that all relevant scientific 
content should be easily accessible through internet-based 
infrastructures. Achieving this vision reaches beyond technology 
- it is also the organisational dimension that allows a stable 
and trusted network of content providers. DRIVER is working with 
repository federations in Europe, and reaches out to further 
international communities (for example in the US, China, India, 
and Africa) in order to determine the practical requirements for 
a confederation of digital repositories.
