Using an Application Profile Based Service Registry

Abstract

The JISC Information Environment Service Registry (IESR) aims to assist other applications, to discover and devolve materials that match their users’ interests in their research, learning and teaching. This paper describes the experience of using an application profile throughout the application development process, from initial data design, through application implementation, to scenarios illustrating application use. Also discussed is the benefit of using an application profile to share both a data schema and actual data with similar initiatives.
