FRED Project

The Federated Repositories for Education (FRED) project has successfully concluded. The project ran from July 2006 - December 2007 with the purpose of supporting deployment of repository federations in Australian education and training communities.

The FRED project documented generic service-oriented models and produced software toolkits that support development of repository federations. The project outputs are publicly available under a Creative Commons license.
