JISC #rdtf meeting, Birmingham (Jerome)

Posted on March 1st, 2011 by Paul Stainthorp

I’m in Birmingham for the JISC Infrastructure for Resource Discovery start-up meeting. We’re here to get to know the other 7 projects that JISC has funded. Here’s what we’ll be talking about:

The objectives for this meeting are:
  • To introduce the bigger picture of the resource discovery taskforce work and all of the projects that are involved
  • To share approaches and knowledge on the key issues for the programme – technical approaches, licensing and aggregation.
For this session each project will need to prepare a 5 minute overview of their project. We would like your overview to address the following questions
  • What content and metadata are you working with?
  • How will this data be made available?
  • What are your use cases for the data?
  • What benefits to your institution and the sector do you anticipate?
12.30 Discussion of technical approaches
  • Each project will be asked to briefly outline the biggest technical challenge they face in their project. We will then look for common issues and opportunities for projects to collaborate.
  • What technical approaches and tools are you using?

And here are my slides for the 5-minute presention on Jerome:
