The OARiNZ Knowledge Base wiki is an on-line clearing house of information relevant to people involved in New Zealand repository projects. It is ‘always draft’ — as knowledge grows about how to create, manage, and promote institutional repositories (IRs), we hope that people will contribute their experience, thoughts, as well as reports and other documents.

The Knowledge Base includes a list of projects and individual repositories, as well as resources created within the various projects — such as technical evaluations, repository implementation and operations guides as well as case studies of individual repository evaluations. The initial phase of the Knowledge Base has been built on an environmental scan and review of literature on existing digital repositories overseas, focusing on technologies used to create, manage and evaluate them. This includes implementation considerations and factors which can be identified as being critical to their success, such as advocacy. It also includes assessment of risks that are barriers to fulfilment of the objectives of each repository, such as third party copyright.

The guidelines for contributors describe how to add to the Knowledge Base. Possible topics for future contributors include digital rights management and employment issues.

From this base, recommendations? and a model of best practice to fit the New Zealand context (including such issues? as copyright law?, the employment contracts? of New Zealand academics and content creators, appropriate technology? and policy solutions? for New Zealand etc.) will be promulgated, to assist those creating digital repositories in New Zealand — both those currently under development, and those that will be tabled in the future.

The Knowledge Base will be organised within a specifically created ontology?, and will provide deep links between subcategories within each higher level knowledge category. Opportunities for further content development or other products may be identified during this phase.

As the Knowledge Base grows, additional commentary based on the experiences of those working in the field, and reflecting changing practice both nationally and internationally will continue to update these recommendations, and enhance the relevance of the contents to New Zealand practitioners.
