Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the creation of the INDEXAR Directory, a new service that is characterised by being a tool that highly promotes access to knowledge in the area of science and culture. The paper describes the context in which it was planned, its funding, the importance of open source in its development, the intended return for the community and the concern for digital preservation.

INDEXAR, as a Directory of Digital Resources, aims to make it easier for the community to discover and access digital teaching and research resources. This service makes available online a list of repositories and scientific journals in the area of science and culture and gathers specific meta information for each resource, enabling users to locate or identify scientific information in their areas of interest.

INDEXAR aims to be the authoritative source of information on national repositories and journals and to ensure their presence in international directories in as interoperable a way as possible.
