Martin Feijen and Annemiek van der Kuil, The dawning of the Dutch network of Digital Academic REpositories (DARE): a sharing experience, The SURF Foundation, June 30, 2004. Excerpt: "The SURF-based programme DARE (Digital Academic REpositories) has brought together all (thirteen) Dutch Universities and three major academic institutions to create a network of digital repositories of Dutch academic output. The first year of DARE focused on implementing the basic infrastructure by setting up and linking the repositories. In the spirit of the open access movement, this article will focus on sharing DARE best practices and lessons learned in the community-driven process. This resulted in creating a Dutch network of OAI (Open Archives Initiative) data providers. A demonstrator portal called DAREnet has been set up to access this national network’s academic output."

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
