A basic idea of Open Access publishing is that the results of research financed by the public also should be freely available to the public. One way of meeting this demand is to establish online repositories for collecting, preserving, and disseminating -- in digital form -- the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution. The Norwegian government, The Research Council of Norway and EU have put ”open access” on their agenda and along with this, repositories have been set up at universities and research institutions all over Europe.
