Can the EPrints server automatically generate a list my publications for my web page?
Yes, though it's a bit fiddly. You'll need to use PHP, so begin by changing the name of the file that corresponds to your home page from, for example, index.html to index.php.

The File Information Tool Set (FITS) identifies, validates, and extracts technical metadata for various file formats. It wraps several third-party open source tools, normalizes and consolidates their output, and reports any errors.
The current tools used are:
* Jhove (LGPL version 2.1 or any later version)
* Exiftool (GPL version 1 or any later version; or the artistic license)
* National Library of New Zealand Metadata Extractor (Apache Public License version 2)
* DROID (BSD version 3.0)
* FFIdent (LGPL)

When setting up the e-Depot in 2003, the Koninklijke Bibliotheek/National Library of the Netherlands (KB) created two separate organisational units: the e-Depot Department which is responsible for the operational management of the repository, and a separate Digital Preservation Department to carry out research and development. These research tasks include technology watch, (inter)national collaboration and the study of all preservation aspects in relation to the e-Depot, such as metadata, file format research, ingest control and the development of strategies for permanent access.

eTheses must be submitted in PDF/A format.
PDF/A documents are PDFs that follow a new standard for archiving electronic documents. They are self-contained for long-term reproducibility. The practical difference between creating a PDF and a PDF/A document is that the conversion settings should be “PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK)” or “PDF/A-1b:2005 (RGB)”. Also, all fonts must be embedded in the document and no additional security features are allowed.
PDF/A is suggested as a preferred format for page-oriented textual (or primarily textual) documents when layout and visual characteristics are more significant than logical structure. Note that, for PDFs based on page images digitized by scanning, the source images are considered the master format if available and PDFs created from those images may be optimized for access convenience.
