Let’s talk numbers
What is all about?
● Provides machine-to-machine interface for the development of new services.
● Enables the development of new applications utilising the open access content including those based on text-
mining.
● Provide business intelligence, support quality management and also management reporting for Repository
managers. (Check metadata quality. Check OAI-PMH interface status. Check and validate against specific
standards and how particular fields are populated/used by similar or different organisations. Benchmark for full text
versus metadata).
● Provide business intelligence for standards development for infrastructure providers.
● Working with OpenAIRE to provide OpenAIRE compliant records for UK repositories. (via RIOXX)
● Acts as a cache for federated search via library systems or other national library service providers and support
cross searching
