چکیده
The UK Technical Information Centre (TIC, URL-3 1999) is one of a set of Internet-based services developed in the EC funded project CONNET (URL-1 1999). The TIC aims to provide a single source of information on any purchasable publication of relevance to the built environment in the UK. Over 220 publishers have been identified and it is estimated that information on about 50,000 publications will be collected. This paper examines the issues raised in structuring and integrating the publication information from such a wide range of publishers. Particular attention is paid to data models and integration, the impact of classification systems, and coping with non-standard transfer formats. The structure of the TIC is detailed and strategies for searching across the published base data are examined along with interoperability issues and the benefits these bring to evolving portals.
