Interoperability Focus

About Interoperability Focus

Interoperability Focus was a national activity, jointly funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the Further and Higher Education Funding Councils and Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA).

During 2007-8 the Interoperability Focus activity became deprecated, as staff focussed their work on other areas.

This page is therefore left for archival purposes.
