What is Interoperability Focus?
Since January 1999 UKOLN has hosted Interoperability Focus, jointly funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the UK’s Further and Higher Education Funding Councils and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA). Interoperability Focus was initially a one person post held by Paul Miller. Since late 2004 Interoperability Focus has become a team of people responsible for exploring, publicising and mobilising the benefits and practice of effective interoperability across diverse information sectors, including librarie, cultural heritage and archival communities. A key aspect of this work is the identification and exploitation of synergies with existing UKOLN and external projects, with a view to maximising returns on the ongoing work of projects.
