The OCKHAM Initiative and the Information Environment Service Registry (IESR) are two efforts which are building digital library services registries. OCKHAM, through a National Science Foundation (NSF)/National Science Digital Library (NSDL) grant, is building a distributed services registry targetting both the NSDL and academic library communities. IESR is building a centralized registry focusing on the JISC community.
This program will present both projects, detail their activities, and demonstrate how the two projects are collaborating and looking long-term to how their separate approaches could eventually converge to an approach that works for all of their respective communities.
