The COAR Repository Interoperability Project took place from 2009 to 2015.

In February 2015, COAR published the COAR Roadmap: Future Directions for Repository Interoperability. The Roadmap identifies the major interoperability issues for repositories and prioritizes them based on community feedback.

The results of the Roadmap are now being used by COAR to focus efforts on addressing the priority issues outlined within.
