JISC Programme Manager's visit

Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower

Friday last week saw a visit by our new JISC Programme Manager, Peter Findlay, to the project team in Portsmouth. As this was his first trip to see us he spent the time meeting the team here (Humphrey, Paula and John) and talking about the project. Topics discussed covered progress so far, plans for the remainder of the project, our outstanding issues, mostly concerned with copyright, and how he might be able to facilitate a resolution to these issues.

After lunch he was pleased to see work in progress, including a world map showing plotted corner points of digitised maps from a new set of metadata which is currently being edited for inclusion in the portal.
