| OMNI | OMNI is a gateway, that uses ROADS, and covers all of the medical, health and bioresearch areas. It has an explicitely UK focus, though it does cover resources from abroad. OMNI, through the RDN (Resource Discovery Network), will be extended into a hub-based service called BIOME, which with a formidable and high profile array of partners, seek to cover all of the health, medical and life sciences, and be the first port-of-call for resource discovery in these areas for the UK.

| SSGFI | Subject Guide for geoscience in the SSGFI project [1], where I could bring in my background as a geoscientist. Together with my colleagues, I selected and defined the types of metadata and we setup the overall SSGFI system. The SSGFI system has three other guides: Mathematics, Anglo American History and Anglo American Literature. The SSGFI project is now working together with the Scout / ISAAC Service. The SUB is also a participant of the CORC project and part of the EULER [5] Consortium. EULER (European Libraries and Electronic Resources in Mathematical Sciences).

| AGORA | The metadata model of [SSGFI], which name is AGORA. It is based on a open XML/RDF exchange format and a relational database model [dated: Mon May 31 1999 - 00:10:27 BST ] | http://www.agora.de | http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/services/mailing-lists/ukoln-external-open/imesh-workshop/0036.html | 2000-10-31 | |
| Dublin Core | Dublin Core metadata is specifically intended to support resource discovery. The elements represent a broad, interdisciplinary consensus about the core set of elements that are likely to be widely useful to support resource discovery. | http://purl.oclc.org/dc/ | http://purl.oclc.org/dc/education/index.htm | 2000-10-31 | |
| Ariadne | Ariadne magazine is aimed at both librarians and information science professionals in academic libraries, and also to interested lay people in the UK Higher Education community. Its principal geographic focus is the UK, but it is widely read in the US and worldwide. | http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/ | http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/ | 2000-10-31 | |
| WoPec | WoPEc is a service for finding and downloading the latest research results in economics. It contains over 29,000 papers. A mySQL search and a SWISH++ search are available. Uses the RePEc dataset of economics publications. | http://netec.mcc.ac.uk/WoPEc.html | http://netec.mcc.ac.uk/WoPEc.html | 2000-10-31 | |
| RePEC | RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) is a collaborative effort of over 100 volunteers in about 25 countries to enhance the dissemination of research in economics. The heart of the project is a decentralized database of working papers, journal articles and software components. Any institution is welcome to join in contributing its research materials. All RePEc material is freely available. Currently, the database holds over 110,000 items of interest: 74,000 working papers 33,000 journal articles 600 software components 360 author contact listings 5,500 institutional contact listings | http://www.repec.org/ | http://www.repec.org/ | 2000-10-31 | |
