Portal Interoperability • Current issues • Establishing appropriate communications between partnerships and portal to identify needs and create solutions • Creating a realistic set of goals in a realistic timetable for what can be achieved by July • Re-energising commitment to wider project • Back-cataloguing of data strategies
Portal Interoperability • Moving forward • LTSN Collections policy • Subject Centre collection policies • HE Academy knowledge management strategy • Seeking feasible technical solutions for inputting and exporting data from centres • Adoption and use of agreed metadata scheme
