PCG Academia will share their experience in migrating data from Eprints to DSpace on Open Repositories 2025

Together with our partner, the University of Zurich, we will present a case study on planning and implementing a new DSpace repository to replace the existing ZORA repository, which was previously based on EPrints.

This presentation will serve as a comprehensive guide for institutions looking to migrate their scientific repositories from EPrints to DSpace. It will cover both technical and organizational aspects of the migration process, including: metadata mapping, content export and transformation, new DSpace repository design, software installation and configuration, usage statistics migration, final data migration.

The prestation name is Transitioning Repositories: From EPrints to DSpace CRIS – The Case of the Zurich Open Repository and Archive (ZORA) and will take place during the Presentations-DSpace 2 panel starting on 15:30 at Griffin Auditorium.
