JISC IE/Web 2.0 vision
• Connecting users to content in dynamic ways
• Services exposed on the network for re-use within other applications

All very well, but…
• …how will these other services know which new services are available?
– Or how to connect to them?
– Or whom to contact if there is a problem with the connection?

One solution…
• The Information Environment Service Registry is designed to:
– help these machine-to-machine services advertise themselves on the network
– Make it easier for application developers to find appropriate services for their users

Metadata
• Collection descriptions: based on RSLP collection description schema
• Service descriptions: depend on type of service
• Agent descriptions: information about organisation
• All metadata decisions have been informed by and have fed into international developments in Dublin Core and NISO Metasearch Initiative.
• IESR metadata now being used in USA and Australia for related projects

IESR content
• Currently: JISC service providers
• Soon: library OPACs, museum and archive catalogues, digital image collections…
• If you want your resource to be included: http://www.iesr.ac.uk/be-included/

Benefits of inclusion for service providers
• Wider awareness of resources and associated services
• Resources can be re-used and re-presented in a variety of contexts and environments, many of which we haven't even thought of yet

The future
• Moving away from building web sites and expecting users to come and find our data in a single place
• Providing our information and resources in ways that can be presented within other interfaces
• Taking our stuff to where the users are
