  • Where: Birkbeck College, Bloomsbury London, map here (building no. 1)[1]

  • Why: The CRIG as identified in the CRIG Unconference identified a series of scenarios and challenges [2] that repositories faced for cross-platform interoperability. ReST was the first API metodology to be identified that could potentially lead to greater interoperability of services and tools for repository interfaces. This workshop was the first to explore this possibility.
