Contents • Which shared infrastructure services do repositories need to interoperate with? • Scenario: search; add data to repository • Contributing to IESR • Service maturity
Which SIS do repositories need to interoperate with? • Identifier services and open linking? • Representation Information Registries? • Format Registries? • Managing digital resources/licencing? • Service Registries & CD? • Metadata Schema Registries? • Institutional Profiling Services? • Terminology Services? • Name Authority?
Scenario: search; add data to repository Shared infrastructure service User activity Locate suitable collections Service registry Support better cross search Terminology services Persistent identifiers Appropriate retrieval route Preservation metadata OpenURL resolvers Preservation metadata Representation info registry Application profiles Metadata schema registry
Interaction with SIS IEMSR IESR Repository
Contributing to eg IESR • [Information Environment Service Registry] • scope includes repositories, OPACs, non-JISC resources • contribute - information about collections of resources, technical details on how to access, contact details for providers • uses RSLP Collection Description Metadata Schema • chicken/egg - IESR needs a critical mass of data to demonstrate a fully functional service • benefits for repositories – opens up resources to wider use (unknown resources discovered)
Service maturity • Some shared infrastructure services are more mature than others… eg IESR one of most mature; IEMSR looking for projects to work with • UKOLN review uses JISC Development and Service Maturity Scale • others don’t yet exist…eg name authority –JISC Circular 04/06 includes call for pilot
