The cross-search functionality in the VSM Portal Demonstrator is now available in JISC MediaHub, as well as a range of film, sound and still image collections.
NOTE: This project website will no longer be maintained and may contain broken links.
It is envisaged that this media-specific portal could form a key part of the presentation layer in the standards-based technical architecture for the JISC Information Environment. The portal could be an important, trusted single point of discovery for users in Further and Higher Education who require access to resources that are considered by JISC to be both "mature" (still images) and "innovative" (time-based media) in the context of learning, teaching and research. In addition, content providers who permit their materials to be surfaced by the portal should benefit from greater exposure and use of their resources.
