The document provides an overview and critique of a digital repositories roadmap from 2006, outlining key milestones and visions for 2010 in areas of policy, culture, academic papers, geospatial data, learning materials, research data, and technical infrastructure. The summary highlights that major milestones include mandating open access for publicly-funded research, embedding open access in institutional strategies, addressing copyright issues, and developing a technical infrastructure to support deposit, discovery, access and interoperability across repositories.
