VRE Projects Overview

 
Project Name Lead Site Aim Target Community Technologies Used Standards Used Web Link
SocSciVre Cambridge To provide and support the Sakai platform for large, distributed social sciences research projects. The focus is on activities to investigate the needs of the TLRP researchers and to evaluate the extent to which Sakai meets those needs. Social Science, TLRP project SakaiPortal, DSpace Possibly WSRP http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=project_sakai_edu_research
PoliticsVre East Anglia To develop a virtual research and research skills development environment, capable of expansion and of facilitating multiple participation in the rapidly evolving field of the history of political discourse. History of political discourse 1500-1800 SakaiPortal, AccessGrid JSR168, possibly WSRP http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=vre_political_discourse
Line: 21 to 22
 
IsmeVre Manchester To develop and refine the experimental steering process, shared workspace and distributed visualisation into a VRE making them deployable by dispersed teams of instrument scientists, material scientists and engineers in a transparent and robust manner. Materials Science GridSphere and AccessGrid   http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=vre_isme
IugoVre Bristol To develop a proof of concept system to enable the integration of web-based content (and references to non web-based content), related to individual conferences and individual sessions within conferences, thus providing a means to provide far great benefit to the wider research community than is currently available from conference attendance. Generic conference organisation   W3C, Metadata standards and ontologies/vocabularies, WSDL, WSRP, JSR168 and OGSI, RSS http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=vre_iugo
