Outstanding Issues
How to expose the contents of research collaborations – search mechanisms (Google?!)
Accommodating differing user requirements, e.g. concerning security (to portal or not to portal)
Prioritising user requirements
Development challenges:– Converting audio/video to web-accessible
– Editing to single stream
– Consistent ontology between old projects Iugo & Memetic
Social, legal & ethical issues
Institutional embedding
