Authors: Phil Barker and Malcolm Moffat
Date: 2007-09
Description: We use the ecology metaphor to describe and explore issues raised through a project (PerX) that developed a pilot service providing resource discovery across a series of repositories of interest to the engineering learning and teaching communities. Presented at ECDL 2007 workshop on "Towards a European repository ecology", Budapest 21 Sept 2007.
