Mapping the JISC IE Service Landscape

editor — Tue, 29 Jul 2003 23:00:00 +0000

Andy Powell provides a graphical representation of how some well-known services, projects and software applications fit within the JISC Information Environment technical architecture.

This largely graphical article attempts to explain the JISC Information Environment (JISC IE) [1] by layering a set of fairly well-known services, projects and software applications over the network architecture diagram [2].

Steve Richardson and Andy Powell on Harvesting and searching IMS metadata using both the OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, and the Z39.50 Protocol.

An introduction to the IMS Digital Repositories Working Group

IMS [1] is a global consortium that develops open specifications to support the delivery of e-learning through Learning Management Systems (LMS). (Note: in UK higher and further education we tend to use the term Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in preference to LMS).

5 Step Guide to Becoming a Content Provider in the JISC Information Environment

editor — Wed, 09 Oct 2002 23:00:00 +0000

Andy Powell describes steps which content providers can take to integrate their resources into the JISC IE.

This document provides a brief introduction to the JISC Information Environment (JISC-IE) [1], with a particular focus on the technical steps that content providers need to take in order to make their systems interoperable within the JISC-IE technical architecture.

The JISC Information Environment and Web Services

editor — Wed, 10 Apr 2002 23:00:00 +0000

Andy Powell and Liz Lyon look at possible relationships between the Web Services idea and earlier ideas about seamless access to information.

The JISC Information Environment

The Distributed National Electronic Resource (DNER) [1] is a JISC-funded, managed, heterogeneous collection of information resources and services (bibliographic, full-text, image, video, geo-spatial, datasets, etc.) of particular value to the further and higher education communities. The JISC Information Environment (JISC IE) [2] is the set of networked services that allows people to discover, access, use and publish resources within the DNER.

OpenResolver: A Simple OpenURL Resolver

editor — Thu, 21 Jun 2001 23:00:00 +0000

Andy Powell describes UKOLN's OpenResolver, a freely available demonstration OpenURL resolver.

This article provides a brief introduction to the deployment and use of the OpenURL [1] [2] by walking through a few simple examples using UKOLN's OpenResolver, a demonstration OpenURL resolution service [3]. The intention is to demonstrate the ability of OpenURL resolvers to provide context-sensitive, extended services based on the metadata embedded in OpenURLs and to describe the construction of simple OpenURL resolver software.
