In a nutshell, we are building a system to capture the research
information infrastructure: linking people, departments, grants,
funders, articles, theses, books and data together.
(Technical information: using RDF and a mix of published and homegrown
ontologies, and using an objectstore to act as a serialised, archival
base for the information. Evidence, context and provenance will be a
strong focus.)
