  3. One relevant component of the IE • Information Environment Service Registry • Pilot service being run by the JISC • Registry of collections and the services that provide access to them • Several interfaces – OAI-PMH; Z39.50; OpenURL Link-To Resolver • SRW under development

  4. Holds information about: • Collections of information resources, the associated services that provide access to the collections, and the parties (aka agents) that own the collections and/or administer the services. • Transactional services, ie. those that provide functionality other than access to a collection, and the parties that administer them. • Entities within the IESR are collections, services and agents. Each of these has associated administrative metadata. The metadata is defined by the IESR Application Profile, along with its associated controlled lists.

  5. Institutional profiling study (2004) http://www.jisc.ac.uk/uploaded_documents/CMSS-Shaw1.pdf Identified: data to be collected Recommended: • Development of XML schema for institutional profile to be held locally and made available through a ‘machine to machine’ interface of the institution’s choosing • Some extension to the IESR to hold some of this information (automatically harvested?)

  6. OpenURL router • The JISC OpenURL router service provides a central registry of academic institutions’ OpenURL resolvers • providers are no longer required to maintain information about institutions and users, and their respective resolvers. Instead, providers simply use the router address as the base URL for all institutions.
