JISC Information environment • The JISC’s Information Environment will provide a range of services, tools and mechanisms for colleges and universities to exploit fully the value of online resources and services. • It will enable presentation, delivery and use of online resources in ways tailored to support individual and institutional requirements in learning, teaching and research.
JISC Shared Services • To enable portals and other services to deliver diverse digital resources, machine-readable information about services, content, rights and users is required to act as the “glue” between portals and the content itself.
IE Service Registry • a machine-readable catalogue of the high-quality resources that form the Information Environment. • The Service Registry will contain descriptive information about electronic resources, but will also hold technical details about how machines may access them
IESR Pilot • 14 month Pilot • 3 centres, UKOLN, MIMAS and University of Liverpool • A subset of JISC services will provide descriptions for the pilot
IESR Descriptions • Based on the RSLP Schema • Consist of information about collections and the services offering access to them
Access • IESR will store detailed descriptions of collections and services • These descriptions will be available to portals, brokers etc through the IESR
IESR and the Resource Guides • Ideally theJISC website should get information about its services from the IESR • Duplication and maintenance of descriptions should be avoided • The same is true for the Resource Discovery Network (RDN)
Current Activities • User Requirements survey • Project meeting June 11th • Stakeholder Meeting in Birmingham, 26th June
