CAIRSS now has a current list of Australian university research repositories (see: http://cairss.caul.edu.au/www/repository…).
As outlined on this CAIRSS webpage, all 39 Australian universities have a research repository, with seven various repository software options currently in use.
CAIRSS will be working in the future to list which version of the software each installation uses.

The project developed a demonstrator that implemented an enhanced deposit and ingest process to a digital repository based on Fedora. The process incorporates the SWORD API for deposit, and accepts deposits that contain multiple files (packaged as a zip file). The workflow performs preservation actions (e.g. capturing PREMIS metadata, format migration), extraction of resource discovery [...]
