This session provides developers with the opportunity to get to know Haplo. A relative new comer to the institutional repository community, this 'new kid on the block' has been used to build applications managing collections of semi-structured information for over ten years with particular strengths in workflow design, managing restricted files securely, and practice-based portfolio collections, all built on an innovative metadata model. The open source Haplo Repository is offered as a stand-alone repository or as an integrated part of the Haplo Research Management System.
