The present paper briefly describes the scope and implementation of „Pandektis‟, an open access repository containing resources of greek history and culture http://pandektis.ekt.gr) that has been developed by the Hellenics National Documentation Center of the National Hellenic Research Institute (http://www.ekt.gr). „Pandektis‟ has been developed using the open repository platform DSpace but has been configured and customized based on the requirements of each hosted digital collection. In the following, after describing the scope of the project, we report the main enhancements or customizations that we performed on the DSpace platform to accommodate the requirements of this specific digital repository implementation. The main issues that have been addressed include context-sensitive presentation and browsing of material, support of custom metadata, linking among digital artifacts and support of range queries in advanced search.
