Speaker
Mr
Paul Walk
(UKOLN)
Description
A number of developments in the UK are focussed on the use of 'aggregation' services as an approach to providing services to support resource discovery. This talk will describe some of the issues raised by this approach, and will attempt to describe patterns and 'anti-patterns' in the design of such services. Some of these issues will be explored in a later workshop at the conference. For the interested, some of these aspects are described in these three (loosely)related blog-posts:
