Tom Franklin
Job Title: Temporary Programme Manager
Team: Innovation, Information Environment
Role
I manage the Shared Infrastructure Services programme. This concerns information that is exchanged at a machine to machine level. To enable portals and other presentation services to make sense of the diverse digital resources available, machine-readable information about services, content, rights and users is required. The result will be that a user can submit a search and receive details of the relevant resources in return, by matching the user's requirements, personal profile and institutional profile to descriptions of the content and the rights required to access it.
