  2. Quality-controlled subject gateways • Internet resources for higher education and research • Selection and collection development- human intellectual effort, documented selection criteria,collection development policy • Collection management- maintaining or improving the quality of collection,maintenance policy • Resource description- fixed and documented metadata set, well-defined semantic fields (structured searching) • Subject classification- indexed by controlled subject classification scheme or thesauri(subject browsing) NORDUnet 2000 : Renardus – The Clever Route to Information 13/07/2014

  3. Renardus broker • A pilot European subject gateway broker service • Integrated cross-searching and cross-browsing of distributed resource collections • Operates across existing large-scale subject gateways • Demonstration of adding one new subject gateway • Collaboration of national initiatives • Improved access to scientific and cultural resources at existing academic subject gateways • Sustainable and improved level of quality in resource discovery NORDUnet 2000 : Renardus – The Clever Route to Information 13/07/2014
