Starting from scratch – building the perfect digital repository

Abstract
By establishing a digital repository for the Feinberg School of Medicine (FSM) (Northwestern University, Chicago campus), we anticipate gaining the ability to create, share, and preserve attractive, functional, and citable digital collections and exhibits. Galter Health Sciences Library did not have a repository as of November 2014. In just a few months we formed a small team that was charged at looking to select the most suitable open source platform for our digital repository software. We followed the National Library of Medicine master evaluation criteria by looking at various factors that included: functionality, scalability, extensibility, interoperability, ease of deployment, system security, system, physical environment, platform support, demonstrated successful deployments, system support, strength of development community, stability of development organization, and strength of technology roadmap for the future. These factors are important for our case considering the desire to connect the digital repository with platforms that produce VIVO compatible structured linked data. VIVO is a linked data platform that serves as a researchers' hub and which provides the names of researchers from academic institutions along with their research output, affiliation, research overview, service, background, researcher's identities, teaching, and much more.Other
