The last few weeks have been busy with meetings and calls - with Symplectic, Mendeley, the DSpace at Cambridge team, the REF project at Cambridge, JISC, and so on. We're fleshing out the details of the project a little more, and identifying the issues which are likely to become big topics of discussion later on - the biggest of these is authentication and authorisation, as we bridge the world of modern web systems and institutional identity. (This connects up to SWORD - and what SWORD2 will be like. We imagine using mostly SWORD1.3, but contributing suggestions for SWORD2 would be a useful contribution.)
You can now see our project's information on the
JISC programme information site.
I'll be at
Science Online London next Friday and Saturday, so if you'd like to learn more about the project or have any questions, find me there!
Whilst visiting Symplectic and Mendeley this week we took pictures of the teams - so you can see we all exist, at least in a slightly blurry way :)
