HILT project helps cross-searching

EDINA is working with the Centre for Digital Library Research (CDLR) on the JISC-funded High Level Thesaurus (HILT) project, currently in phase four.

HILT seeks to develop a service that will use thesauri to help cross-searching between different JISC-funded services that may use disparate terminology to describe their services.

CDLR are leading and managing the project, with EDINA providing programming support for development of the Search/Retrieve Web Service (SRW) client, advice on performance and interface issues, hosting the SRW server and testing developments using a Go-Geo! client.

HILT project staff want to make contact with staff in information services or in projects interested in helping it test and refine its developing terminology services. See the web address below for more details.
