Digital Repository Federation
(tentative version)
About Digital Repository Federation (DRF) †
Digital Repository Federation (DRF) is a federation consisting of 87 universities and research institutes (as of February 2009), which aims to promote Open Access and Institutional Repository in Japan.
In Japan, National Institute of Informatics (NII), Tokyo, has worked with universities to provide academic content services, including the academic union catalog, the portal to academic databases, and the citation information service of Japanese academic societies and university bulletins.
NII also supports institutional repositories. In 2004, NII launched a collaborative program for institutional repositories. The program was extended as a part of the framework of Cyber Science Infrastructure (CSI) in 2005, to which 68 universities joined in 2008.
DRF is based on one of the research and development projects, managed by Hokkaido University, Chiba University, Kanazawa University, Osaka University and Hiroshima University.
