  • The UK JISC Information Environment Service Registry (IESR), with a metadata description profile that is also used by the US OCKHAM Digital Library Services Registry, publicizes collections of resources along with details of how to access them in a machine-readable format, aiming to assist applications such as portals to serve their users' interests.
