CALL RELEASED: Podcast on jiscDEPO & jiscEXPO Call.
Yesterday the JISC Grant Funding Call 2/10 (Title: “Deposit of research outputs and Exposing digital content for education and research”) was released on the JISC website. The two Strands in this Call are asking for separate sets of project bids and I’d like to clarify each in its own right:
- Strand A: Deposit of research outputs (tag = jiscDEPO)
- Strand B: Exposing digital content for education and research (tag = jiscEXPO)
These two strands of projects will be separate in their project remits, however there is significance in our suggestion that the Web can and should act as the primary place where open content should reside. It is essential that both the process of deposit and then expose is as simple and as straightforward for the user as possible.
To help clarify each of these strands I’ve had my JISC colleagues quiz me on the Call document for each strand so that we can give a basic overview of how to read the Call document.
To note, the following resources will be referred to in both podcasts so please make sure to have the following on hand while listening:
- “The Call Document” which is available either on the JISC website as a Word document or on the writetoreply.org site as a set of HTML links (we would encourage comments on the call to be placed on writetoreply or if via another site to please use the appropriate tag).
- “The Briefing Paper” which is published alongside the “The Call” document on the JISC website as a Word Document.
- “The IE Team Blog” which is what you are reading now! All updates to this call and set of projects as they are funded will be announced here, so subscribe to the RSS feed now!
- The “jiscDEPO” podcast and the “jiscEXPO” podcast. These are two separate podcasts which are below and are intended to address each strand of work described in “the Call Document”.
12 minute podcast discussion between David and Andy to give an overview of Strand A (Deposit) of the Call document (jiscDEPO):
12 minutes podcast discussion between David and Frederique on an overview of Strand B (Expose) of the Call document (jiscEXPO):
Please don’t hesitate to call or email me (David F. Flanders) if there are any further questions with regards to both strands.
