Our task in the second OSI convening of the institutional repository workgroup was to propose a way forward for repository and infrastructure solutions: detailing what's needed before action can be taken, what this action should look like, and what actors should be involved.

While developing a repository is a crucial job, ensuring its sustainability is more challenging. The article elaborates repository auditing concept and how it helps repository administration to gain Trusted Digital Repository status. A trustworthy repository gets well utilised by all its users and stakeholders which ensures its long-term sustainability. Various documents generated by the repository system and interviews with key persons help repository auditors to collect evidences of how repository is functioning to achieve its objectives and mission. The audit certificate will be a symbol of repository trustworthiness. The recent repository audit tools that can be used freely are listed with their brief introduction.

Supporting repositories towards becoming more trustworthy and FAIR-enabling is at the heart of the FAIRsFAIR project. This paper introduces the in-depth support programme created by FAIRsFAIR and shares the successes, common challenges and lessons learned. It details the support and guidance provided for repository managers as well as for CoreTrustSeal Reviewers. This work also provides recommendations for developing a support programme towards repository certification.

The Digital Repositories Programme Support Project (DRPSP) and the Repository Research Team (RRT) were two phases of a project that supported the JISC’s repository related programmes from 2005 to 2009. The project comprised staff from two JISC services (now Innovation Support Centres): two from UKOLN and 0.5 FTE (rising to 1 for the final year) at CETIS; it was initially managed by Rachel Heery of UKOLN, and in its final year by Lorna Campbell and Phil Barker of CETIS

This paper describes activities which have taken place within the UK institutional repository (IR) sector focusing on developing a community of practice through the sharing of experiences and best practice. This includes work done by the UK Council of Research Repositories (UKCoRR) and other bodies, together with informal activities, such as sharing the experience of organising Open Access Week events. The paper also considers future work to be undertaken by UKCoRR to continue developing the community.

Aligning the CoreTrustSeal Requirements with an assessment of repositories' ability to enable FAIR data is an important part of delivering an EOSC. Trustworthy Digital Repositories which enable FAIR data are a dependency for many components of modern, open, distributed research. This paper sets the work within the wider context of data infrastructures, describes the co-dependencies between (meta) data objects and their repository environment, and presents the developing mapping between requirements and principles. The evolving capability/maturity approach is explained and the design of a governed assessment and certification process is defined. This work will iterate alongside the wide range of ongoing data infrastructure initiatives to support a range of stakeholders on their journey towards trustworthy repository services that enable FAIR data. Extensive engagement and feedback are planned to allow us to reach this goal.
