The latest Home Nations Forum in Edinburgh focused on Standards. Alastair Dunning from JISC Digitisation gave a talk which illustrated how standards need to be thought of as existing in an organic, shifting environment and why the ramifications of choosing any standards need to be thought through. A lively discussion followed which continued through into the hour-long round table session, facilitiated by Alastair and Brian Kelly of UKOLN, which tackled some of the issues in more depth.
Read on for Alastair’s presentation, coverage of the further discussion, and Brian Kelly’s final roundup, plus details of the other presentations from the day.
