Technical Foundations

The Technical Foundations Web site is being developed by the Innovation Support Centre at UKOLN to provide an overview and synthesis of cutting edge developments in information science in the UK HE sector, arranged within a hierarchy of broad themes containing more specific areas of interest.

It aims to serve research managers, researchers, early adopters, developers, and ultimately the whole UK HE sector from a technical perspective, by bringing together disparate sources of information from across the Web and providing an introduction to those areas within the identified themes, including a variety of views and perspectives from those who have already engaged with these technologies.

In doing so, it is intended that the site will continue to grow and develop as a living resource that brings a wealth of experience to people who need to use it, thus saving time and expense by helping implementers to avoid mistakes that have already been identified by giving them them a sound basis upon which to make rapid technical innovations into the future.
