Transactional services, ie. those that provide functionality other than access to a collection, and the parties that administer them. Entities within the IESR are collections, services and agents. Each of these has associated administrative metadata. The metadata is defined by the IESR Application Profile, along with its associated controlled lists.

6	OpenURL router The JISC OpenURL router service provides a central registry of academic institutions’ OpenURL resolvers providers are no longer required to maintain information about institutions and users, and their respective resolvers. Instead, providers simply use the router address as the base URL for all institutions.
