This chapter presents the gLibrary/DRI (Digital Repositories Infrastructure) platform. The main goal of the platform is to reduce the cost in terms of time and effort that a repository provider spends to get its repository deployed. This is achieved by providing a common infrastructure and a set of mechanisms (APIs and specifications) that repository providers use to define the data model, the access to the content (by navigation trees and filters) and the storage model. It also provides an algorithm launching mechanism. gLibrary/DRI offers a generic way to provide all this functionality; however, providers can add specific behaviours to the default functions for their repositories. The architecture is Grid based. Two use cases are also presented: A mammograms repository example that provides clinicians with a tool that eases diagnostics process and an algorithmic repository based on the Poincare Surface Section.
