CONVERIS (developed by Avedas) is a Current Research Information System (CRIS) that manages information on research projects, grants, publications, awards, patents, technology offers, and integration in international networks. CONVERIS also supports grant application and project management, including information on cash flows retrieved from finance systems, and it offers tailor made, quality-assured analyses (on research performance, scientific potential, networking and competences) and supports external reporting, marketing and public relations.

DROID (Digital Record Object Identification) is a software tool (developed and managed by UK National Archives) designed to perform automated batch identification of file formats. It is the first in a planned series of tools developed by The National Archives under the umbrella of its PRONOM technical registry service. DROID is used for curation in Institutional Repositories.

EPrints is an open-source, GPL-licensed software repository package (developed and managed by University of Southampton) for building open-access, OAI-PMH-compliant repositories. EPrints is primarily used for institutional repositories and scientific journals. As of version 3.3, EPrints supports a flexible data model that can be managed through configuration files and many aspects of EPrints repositories can be modified through a centralised collection of plugins, extensions, styles.

Global Digital Format Registry (GDFR) is an initiative (developed by Harvard University Library, with Mellon Foundation funding) to provide a distributed and replicated registry of format information populated and vetted by experts and enthusiasts world-wide. In 2009 the GDFR initiative joined forces with the UK National Archives' PRONOM registry initiative under a new name: the Unified Digital Formats Registry (UDFR).

IRIOS -2 is a JISC-funded project (managed by University of Sunderland) developing a proof-of-concept demonstrator supporting the import and export of research management data in CERIF format, linking research grant information and publications together. Filtering allows subsets of the data to be selected and exported in CERIF for use by third party applications such as Pure. In this project university research management data was successfully adapted and extended to include basic research grant information taken directly from a Research Council dataset (Shared Service Centre).

Institutional Repository Usage Statistics (IRUS-UK) is a JISC-funded usage-reporting service (managed by Mimas) designed to enable UK institutional repositories to share and expose statistics based on the COUNTER standard. IRUS-UK aims to provide a nation-wide view of UK repository usage by providing comparable, authoritative, standards-base data.

Note: IRUS-UK is one of the repository infrastructure components supported in 'Wave 1' of RepositoryNet+.

KeepIt is a JISC-funded project (managed by University of Southampton) aiming to close the gap between the digital preservation community and people responsible for live repositories. The project focussed on two key areas: 1) KeepIt course for digital preservation of repositories; 2) the development and implementation of preservation tools for repositories.

METS Document Profile for Submission Information Packages (METSDSpaceSIP) is a DSpace format designed to be compatible with both DSpace and EPrints. Typically this DSpace package format is used in implementations of the SWORD (Simple Web-service Offering Repository Deposit) interoperability standard, allowing digital repositories to accept the deposit of content from multiple sources in different formats via a standardized protocol.

National Library of New Zealand Metadata Extractor (NLNZ Metadata Extractor) is a Java-based tool to extract preservation metadata from within the headers of a range of file formats (including PDF documents, image files, sound files and Microsoft Word documents). NLNZ Metadata Extractor saves this preservation metadata in XML format.

Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is a system developed and managed by the international consortium (ORCID, Inc.) dedicated to resolving the name ambiguity problem, based on collaboration amongst publishers, universities, funding bodies and other stakeholders in scholarly communications. ORCID aims to solve this name ambiguity problem by creating a registry of persistent unique identifiers for individual researchers and an open and transparent linking mechanism between ORCID, other ID schemes, and research objects such as publications, grants, and patents.

Publishing and the Ecology of European Research (PEER) is an EU-funded scoping project investigating the effects of large-scale, systematic depositing of authors' final peer-reviewed manuscripts. PEER monitored the effects of systematic archiving over time, with participating publishers collectively contributing approximately 240 journals to assess factors such as: how large-scale archiving affects journal viability; whether it increases access; models to illustrate how traditional publishing systems can coexist with self-archiving.

PRONOM is the online registry (managed by UK National Archives) of technical information about public file formats, software products, and other technical components required to support long-term access to electronic records and other digital objects of cultural, historical, or business value.

RePosit is a project (managed by University of Leeds) aiming to increase uptake of a web-based repository deposit tool embedded in a researcher-facing publications management system. This project is a collaboration between 5 Higher Education Institutions in the process of migrating to a publications management system as a primary deposit interface to their digital repositories.

Repository Interoperability Opportunities (RIO) is JISC-funded work to collect, analyse, review and present information about the options faced by open access research repositories with respect to the systems and services with which they might interoperate.

RIOXX is a JISC-funded project (managed by UKOLN) to develop a simple DC application profile for bibliographic metadata to be exposed by UK open access repositories. The RIOXX profile should enable UK repositories to be as compliant as possible to the OpenAIRE guidelines and to satisfy the simplest possible requirements as set out in the final report of the RIO extension project: including unambiguous fields for project identifier, funder identifier, DOI, identifier for related dataset, embargo type, embargo end date, access level semantics.

Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR) is similar to OpenDOAR but managers input their own repositories. The primary aims of ROAR are to provide support for repository growth and to promote the development of open access by providing timely information about the growth and status of repositories throughout the world.

Social Networking Extensions for EPrints (SNEEP) is a plug-in module deriving from a rapid development project (managed by University of London Computing Centre) to create extensions adding further key Web 2.0 features to EPrints. Specifically, SNEEP provides modular functionality for commenting, bookmarking, and using tags within EPrints repositories. More generally, SNEEP is designed to demonstrate how Web 2.0 technologies can be used in an institutional repository.

SWORD EasyDeposit is an open source SWORD client creation toolkit (developed at University of Auckland Library). With EasyDeposit you can create customised SWORD deposit web interfaces from within your browser.

Unified Digital Formats Registry (UDFR) is a registry (funded by the Library of Congress and developed by California Digital Library) designed to unify the function and holdings of two existing registries: PRONOM and GDFR (the Global Digital Format Registry). UDFR provides an open source, semantically enabled, community supported platform for a reliable, publicly accessible, and sustainable knowledge base of file format representation information for use by the digital preservation community.
