The document discusses issues with current institutional repository architectures and how they can be improved to better align with Web 2.0 principles. It suggests repositories could become more like social networks by focusing on user interfaces, global aggregation, social interaction around content, and simple metadata standards. A new vision is needed where repositories re-envision scholarly communication as a true Web process rather than just replicating print-based models online.

4. What is a repository? a university-based institutional repository is a set of services that a university offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members. It is most essentially an organizational commitment to the stewardship of these digital materials, including long-term preservation where appropriate, as well as organization and access or distribution . … An institutional repository is not simply a fixed set of software and hardware (Cliff Lynch, 2003)
