OIA2R Meeting in York

Dawid reports from last week’s JISC OIA2R meeting:

Last Wednesday I attended a OIA2R meeting in York, which focused on finding out how did the projects do over the past several months and what is going to happen next. Encapsulate did very well in my opinion. We have created an EPrints plugin (http://bazaar.eprints.org/266/) that allows other repositories to open their data to resources such as Venture Navigator, as well as other systems that support open standard data interchange formats.

The Venture Navigator assessment has been accessed by over 30 businesses so far, from which there were 3 queries to Glasgow RSIO office. Venture Navigator is currently in talk with other EPrint repositories that could broaden the resources available to businesses.
