JISC

Developing guidance on technical standards and specifications for JISC development activity and service interoperability

JISC is seeking to commission the production of overarching technical standards guidance to support JISC activities. The work should also recommend how a current body of knowledge in this area can be maintained.

This work is being taken forward as part of the JISC Frameworks programme although it will support activity beyond this. The aim of the JISC Frameworks programme is to:

‘Develop and evaluate a framework to facilitate interoperability across learning, teaching, research and their supporting systems.’

Up to £25,000 is available for this work, including VAT and expenses. The work should commence on 5 April 2004 or as soon as possible thereafter and must be completed by 16 July 2004.
