INITIATIVE NEWS: The Ockham group http://www.ockham.org/ has found excellent opportunities for synergy with two UK initiatives: the Information Environment Service Registry http://iesr.ac.uk/ and The Archives Hub http://archiveshub.ac.uk/. Both initiatives funded by DLF's newest ally, JISC. Indeed, Ockham has been able to import IESR's metadata scheme into the Ockham registry, making good re-use of work done in this similar British effort, and avoiding redundant work. A face-to-face set of meetings this month, graciously hosted in Liverpool and Manchester, allowed the various Ockham, Archives Hub, and IESR development teams to meet and to explore further opportunities to benefit from and contribute to each others' work.
