1. Discovery
Andy McGregor Programme Manager

2. There’s treasure everywhere...
But all in different places and different formats
A fragmeneted experience
Some services deal with this but don’t cover all content or meet all use cases

3. The resource discovery taskforce members
What resource discovery infrastructure would you build if you could start from scratch?

4. Disagreement over services Agreement over metadata

5. Implementing the vision
We have until 2012 to have a go at realising the vision
The vision is pleasantly baggy so we can tailor and adjust our approach as we find out more about the issues and as we learn from developments elsewhere
Short iterative bursts of activity to allow us to constantly correct and adjust our approach as we go
Be pragmatic! Do something useful!

6. NO Looking beyond our silos Not just he
JISC funding focused on he but if want to make it useful for researchers and avoid creating a giant silo – need to think broader to include other sectors and nations

7. Enabling an ecosystem of services
For example:
better search
mashups and visualisations
aggregation and normalisation of metadata
enrichment of metadata
collection management
shared cataloguing
in depth resources exploring specific topics
Describe services
Not all jisc – enabling is used specifically
Ecosystem used carefully too as some of these services will feed off each other – I started to draw it but it got too complicated and I started to disagree with myself and that’s not a good sign

8. Where are we in the implementation?
You are here
Phase 1 – open data
Phase 2 – aggregation and service building
Phase 3 – further service building

9. Evenly spread across Libraries, Archives and Museums
What we’re working on
8 projects
Evenly spread across Libraries, Archives and Museums
Open, reusable metadata
Finish in July

10. What might this mean for you?
Make it more visible get it enriched by linking to other relevant content
New ways of engaging with your content
Your content might want to be involved in the services we build or enhance
You might want to see advice and guidance on best practice or look out for new opportunities to exploit your content

#ukdiscovery

12. Our aim is that Discovery will help to mobilise and energise the community, engaging stakeholders to create a critical mass of open and reusable data, and explore what open data makes possible through real-world exemplars and case studies.
