*JISC ITT: Publisher Metadata and Interoperability Projects II*
This document invites proposals to undertake projects that help to
further develop interoperability between publishers and aggregators and
the JISC Information Environment (IE). The aim of these projects is to
highlight and explore the issues surrounding the development of
interoperable, metadata-based services offered by publishers based on
their electronic publications. The projects are expected to be of a
three to ten months timescale and to start no later than October 2005.
The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), working closely with the
Publishers and Library/Learning Solutions (PALS) Metadata and
Interoperability Group, intends to build on the success of an earlier
series of projects (_the PALS Metadata and Interoperability Projects_
<http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=programme_pals>), by funding a
second series: PALS II Metadata and Interoperability projects. Details
of the proposed project work and background information is set out
below. The deadline for proposals is 1300hrs GMT on Tuesday 6th
September 2005.
Proposals are invited from publishers (including aggregators) and from
partnerships between publishers and Further and Higher Education
institutions. In particular it is expected that suitable FE and HE
partners will include JISC production services and development projects.
Total funding of up to £100,000 is available for this initiative. It is
anticipated that a number of proposals with budgets of £10,000 - £15,000
will be funded.
