as a long-term preservation system through the assignment of persistent identifiers (permanent links)
to manage and store any kind of digital object (digital born and analogue) that is developed in an academic environment, for example in the fields of research (e.g. articles, papers, videos, audios, containers), learning & teaching (e.g. learning objects) and administration (e.g. forms)
to make abovementioned assets per default freely accessible (according to the wishes of the owner of the object and the therefore assigned access rights). Every object is provided with licenses.
to provide tools to manage / view / edit the assets (e.g. e_book viewer).
