Projects to release open metadata about the collections and resources of Higher education libraries museums and

archives.

The Infrastructure for Resource Discovery Strand

Appendix E


This is part of a wider vision and we expect projects to take that into account and dedicate time to working with other resource discovery taskforce projects

(paragraphs 1, 2, 10, 15)



For this reason there is a strict methodology in place – don’t adhere to it, don’t get funded

(paragraph 8)

Linked data encouraged but not compulsory.

(paragraph 9)

We are looking for projects to use an open licence that permits reuse for their metadata

(paragraph 16)

The funding is focused on HE libraries archives and museums but partnerships are welcomed if they comply with conditions

(paragraphs 4 and 19)

These projects are about establishing practices that can be adopted by other institutions to spread the benefits around the sector

(paragraphs 5, 7 and 18)

Data and processes must be sustainable – we’re asking for something more specific than a simple declaration here.

The Activity Data Strand

Explore user activity data to:

Improve services to institutional staff and studentsImprove management of institutional services

Identify opportunities for shared services

Appendix F

Institutional projectsShared service projects

A synthesis project


All about identifying tools and techniques that can work for the sector


There will be dedicated synthesis project to help with this and all projects must plan time to work with the synthesis

(paragraphs 12, 17, 18 and 20)


Activity Data


Activity Data

Each project should have an hypothesis(paragraphs 13 and 18)

Projects should focus on service improvement(paragraphs 9, 10, 14 and 18)

Activity Data

Be clear about systems, services and data types involved(paragraph 15)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcomagrini/698692268/sizes/m/in/photostream/


We are looking for projects to release any datasets using an open licence.And to be clear about any legal or ethical issues that using the data poses

(paragraph 16)

The Repositories Take Up and Embedding Strand

This programme area is for institutions that already provide a repository service and are ready to improve that service by

implementing the use of proven tools, applications and services

Appendix G

Broad focus



Must use proven good practice to develop an existing repository – we will not fund development of new technology

(paragraphs 4 and 5)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/dammit_jill/2707871761/


Not just JISC projects – any good practice exemplars – must clearly identify in bid(paragraph 10)

?



We want to see projects that improve an institutional service

(paragraphs 6, 7, 10 and 12)

But this should be in addition to addressing another area as described in the call and not the main focus of the project

(paragraph 8)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kevharb/5023421282/sizes/m/in/photostream/

Development of policy and advocacy materials is permitted

http://www.flickr.com/photos/sara/215916577/sizes/m/in/photostream/



We want a wide range of institutions to benefit from this work so want to see projects that include well planned efforts to share good practice, including working with the RSP.


Bids seeking to implement good practice from the bidding institution will not be eligible for funding.

(paragraph 10)




Sustainability - not a one off improvement but a sustained one.

(paragraph 13)
