For this reason there is a strict methodology in place – don’t adhere to it, don’t get funded

(paragraph 8)

Linked data encouraged but not compulsory.

The Activity Data Strand

Explore user activity data to:

Improve services to institutional staff and studentsImprove management of institutional services

Identify opportunities for shared services

Appendix F

Institutional projectsShared service projects

A synthesis project

Joint Information Systems Committee 11/04/23 | Supporting education and research | Slide 10

All about identifying tools and techniques that can work for the sector

(paragraphs 1, 8 and 18)

There will be dedicated synthesis project to help with this and all projects must plan time to work with the synthesis

(paragraphs 12, 17, 18 and 20)

The Repositories Take Up and Embedding Strand

This programme area is for institutions that already provide a repository service and are ready to improve that service by

implementing the use of proven tools, applications and services
