| Title: | IESR - JISC Information Environment Service Registry |
|---|---|
| Type: | Index |
| Description: | The IESR has been developed to provide a registry of information about electronic resources that are of value to teachers, researchers and learners. The IESR project is part of JISC's Shared Services Programme. The aim is to create a reliable source of information that other applications, such as portals, can freely access through machine-to-machine protocols, in order to help their end users discover resources of assistance to them. The IESR contains information about the resources themselves, technical details about how to access the resources, and contact details for the resource providers. For resource providers the IESR will hold a master description of their electronic resources, to which other potential users of the resources may be directed. The registry is held in an XML repository using Cheshire information retrieval software. |
