New Zealand academics, researchers and repository managers are invited to take part in a short survey to develop a framework in the UK for the identification of versions of objects in digital repositories.

As the amount of academic material available online and the number of institutional repositories increases, the need to be able to clearly identify different versions of a work and to understand the relationship between digital objects grows.

The UK JISC funded Version Identification Framework (VIF) Project aims to assist academic authors, researchers and repository managers by contributing to the development of guidelines and standards for identifying, and dealing with, versions.
