· Import the entire dataset into the new integrated content management and knowledge organisation system.
· Work with biab online staff to ensure full testing and adjustment of the populated system into a fully functioning online and in-house system
biab online is inviting interested candidates to tender for the above project, to produce a system that is readily configurable, extensible and flexible
