Status report from NorDataNet

By steingod |

The plan was to release the search interface before summer vacation,  but unfortunately we ran out of time. The search interface has been tested and verified for public release. We will release this immediately after summer vacation and start populating the catalogue with records harvested from the partners. In this process we are also checking metadata harvest from other relevant catalogues. Please contact the project if you have catalogues that you would like to expose through Norwegian Scientific Data Network.
