Repositories Architecture #83

This document discusses repository architecture and raises several questions about whether a new architecture is needed given existing solutions that work well. It questions if there are truly new problems or if similar issues have been addressed before by content management systems. It also suggests learning from other domains like content management, document management, records management, open data, and open notebook science. Key issues mentioned are the lack of rich metadata capture and whether institutional repositories have developed in a way that supports new research practices.
