Newsline from EDINA
March 2006: Volume 11, Issue 1
In September 2005, EDINA was funded by JISC to investigate, through initial scoping activity and then the construction of a demonstrator, the value and feasibility of a national Visual and Sound Material Portal for both time-based media and image collections, intended to operate within the JISC Information Environment. (See the previous edition of Newsline.) The scoping phase of this project is complete. A report from Phase 1 and recommendations for a Phase 2 are currently being reviewed by JISC. EDINA has also secured initial agreement from a range of content-service providers to expose their content through the portal demonstrator.
