A new digital repository with significant IT and Internet content was created by the National Documentation Center (EKT) to provide open access to Open Source Software / Open Source Software. The Free Software repository / Open Source Software (http://repository.ellak.gr) includes content generated through Free Software, Open Technologies and Open Source actions, material produced by the VET / LAC, its members, as well as by individual creators.
Visitors to the repository can browse collections and search for the material they are interested in between studies, videos, conference and conference proceedings, guides, presentations, and more. This content is available in accordance with the principles of Open Access. Registered users can even register their own content, thereby enabling users to use their material.
The EL / LAC repository not only contributes to the systematic collection, organization and open availability of open-source and open-source content but also to its widespread use and reuse, with the ultimate goal of promoting Open Content actions and showing its benefits use of Free Software and Open Architecture Technologies.
The content of the repository currently numbers 319 documents, constituting a valuable source of knowledge about developments in open source application development, how they operate, how they can be exploited, and the implementation of public licenses, both within and outside of Greece.
The repository, configured according to the organization's requirements, is hosted in the ESF Cloud Infrastructure. It provides long-term content retention, exploitation in a sustainable way, as well as tasks such as data migration to international standards, export of content to selected applications, etc.
The development of the Free Software / Open Source Software Repository was completed in the framework of the project "National Information Research System and Technology / Social Networks - User Generated Content" (Operational Program "Digital Convergence", NSRF and the NSRF European Regional Development Fund), (www.epset.gr), which is the main development project of the ESF.
The ESF develops digital repository services for institutions of high quality educational, research, scientific and cultural content. Soon, these services will evolve further, utilizing the Software as a Service model. The aim is to create a strong knowledge network for the exploitation and re-use of the reputable Greek digital content.
It is noted that the non-profit Free Software/Open Source Software Society (FSO) was founded in 2008 and is made up of 29 Universities, Research Centers, Technological Institutes and non-profit organizations. Its main objective is to contribute to the promotion and development of Free Software, Open Content and Open Architecture Technologies in the field of education, the public sector and businesses in Greece, while at the same time it aspires to be centre of knowledge and platform dialogue on open technologies.

National Documentation Center: access to knowledge
The National Documentation Center (www.ekt.gr) is a scientific facility of national use at the National Research Foundation. As an infrastructure of national scope, the EKT has an institutional role of collecting, organizing and disseminating scientific and technological information, inside and outside the country. At the same time, it provides information about issues research and innovation, and supports participation in national and European programs and the exploitation of research results.
With a constant presence in the Greek scientific community since 1980, the EKT makes use of Information and Communication Technologies, in combination with modern business methods, in order to develop innovative actions, aimed at strengthening the open access σε ψηφιακό περιεχόμενο επιστήμης και πολιτισμού. Για τον σκοπό αυτό συνεργάζεται με σημαντικούς φορείς παραγωγής έγκριτου περιεχομένου, όπως βιβλιοθήκες, αρχεία, μουσεία, ερευνητικά κέντρα.
More than 5.700.000 digital repositories of electronic repositories, scientific journals and digital libraries are already available from the National Research and Technology Information System (www.epset.gr) website, which is the main development work of the ESF.
