In the rapidly evolving repository landscape, a unified approach and implementation is needed to ensure high level interoperability and retrieval of content.DRIVER provides such a unified approach and, as the largest initiative of its kind worldwide, is leading the way. Hence DRIVER Guidelines and technical infrastructure are expected to influence the development of repositories and associated services worldwide.The DRIVER aggregator and associated technologies will allow the DRIVER Search service and as well as third party search providers such as OAIster, BASE, and Google to provide more sophisticated searching e.g. full text only records, in an efficient and timely manner. This is possible through the implementation of the DRIVER Guidelines which improve available metadata and through technologies and services developed by DRIVER to simplify the use of this metadata by service providers.
