>From the beginning of January 1999, the UK Office for Library and
Information Networking (UKOLN) plays host to the new post of
Interoperability Focus.
This post is jointly funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee
(JISC) of the UK Higher Education Funding Councils and the British
Library's Research and Innovation Centre (BLRIC).
Interoperability Focus will serve to channel knowledge and expertise
related to the effective sharing of information, data, and process between
a wide range of data providers and Gateways from sectors as diverse as
libraries, museums and archives.
As such, Interoperability Focus is concerned with standards developments
such as Dublin Core and Z39.50, as well as with procedural, structural and
semantic issues related to the manner in which data might most usefully be
made available in order to ensure widespread accessibility.
