Summary

Within the Discovery to Delivery area of the JISC Repositories and Preservation Programme the Intute Repositories Search Project was funded to create a search service for content held within UK repositories and to examine the issues that surround retrieval. The first iteration of this service is basic, and focuses on ePrints (research papers) only. A Dublin Core Application Profile for ePrints (research papers) was funded to provide consistency of search. Further iterations of the search Repositories Search service will need to include other media types such as images moving pictures and sound, geo-spatial data etc.

It is the task of this project to develop a Geospatial Application Profile (GAP) analogous to the ePrints (SWAP) Profile.
