DABAR is a national repository system that provides research and higher education entities with the common infrastructure necessary to establish and maintain a secure, reliable and interoperable institutional and disciplinary repositories. DABAR started with the production in 2015. The support for new types of digital objects and new functionalities is continuously being developed by SRCE - University of Zagreb University Computing Centre in association with a number of research and higher education institutions in Croatia. Until June 2018, DABAR was used to build two national repositories and 119 repositories of Croatian research and higher education institutions. Currently, it supports curation of electronic theses and dissertations, papers published in journals and conference proceedings, book chapters, and various types of artistic works (photographs, audio and audiovisual content). The main focus of development is to build the support for the research data and the plan is that the support will be available to the whole DABAR community until the end of November. One of the major goals of the DABAR platform and the community gathered around it is to actively promote Open Access to the results of research results and to educational resources.
