Open Digital Repository

Lanka Education & Research Network


LEARN, Open Digital Repository as a Service (ODRaaS) is for all its members at no additional cost. Get secure your research publications, theses, datasets, etc with their matadata.

based on DSpace which is the world leading open source repository platform that it enables organizations to:

  • easily ingest documents, audio, video, datasets and their corresponding Dublin Core metadata
  • open up this content to local and global audiences
  • issue permanent urls and trustworthy identifiers, including optional integrations with ORCID

You can access the platform by your institutional credentials or eduID over LEARN Identity Access Federation (LIAF). You can also use your ORCID credentials if you select Log in with ORCID

  • First login to the platform by selecting Log in with Shibboleth
  • Then contact repository manager of your department/unit to get you added as a Submitter or a Reviewer

Contact LEARN repository admin (dspace at learn.ac.lk), if you want to secure a repository space and to be the repository manager of your department/unit.

Food in FOSS
(2026-02-26) Mary Winifreeda
For 2026, workshops in the food sector generally focus on transforming global systems through technology and sustainability. Below are the standard guidelines and themes for abstracts based on major 2026 events. Core Themes for 2026 Abstracts are currently being accepted for several major global summits focusing on these key areas: Technological Innovation: AI in food design, 3D food printing, and nanotechnology for nutrient delivery. Sustainability: Circular food economies, upcycling, alternative proteins, and waste valorization. Safety & Traceability: Blockchain-based supply chain transparency and rapid hazard detection tools.

Science and bioethics of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing: an analysis towards separating facts and fiction
(2017-12-19) Adam P Cribbs, Sumeth MW Perera
Since its emergence in 2012, the genome editing technique known as CRISPR-Cas9 and its scientific use have rapidly expanded globally within a very short period of time. The technique consists of using an RNA guide molecule to bind to complementary DNA sequences, which simultaneously recruits the endonuclease Cas9 to introduce double-stranded breaks in the target DNA. The resulting double-stranded break is then repaired, allowing modification or removal of specific DNA bases. The technique has gained momentum in the laboratory because it is cheap, quick, and easy to use. Moreover, it is also being applied in vivo to generate more complex animal model systems. Such use of genome editing has proven to be highly effective and warrants a potential therapy for both genetic and non-genetic diseases. Although genome editing has the potential to be a transformative therapy for patients it is still in its infancy. Consequently, the legal and ethical frameworks are yet to be fully discussed and will be an increasingly important topic as the technology moves towards more contentious issues such as modification of the germline. Here, we review a number of scientific and ethical issues which may potentially influence the development of both the technology and its use in the clinical setting.
