Alison Webster, Head of e-Access (Chair)

9.12 Alison Webster told the Panel that “Linking Arms” has a prototype named ANG, which is an example of this kind of approach of interoperability, which once further developed will act as a dynamic, middle tier database, and provide cross searching and cross linking.

9.13 John Addis-Smith said that genealogical sites sometimes have a one search across a multitude of sources approach already. He stated that for example it was sometimes possible to type in a single search term and then have the results listed by repository, as well as the individual catalogue descriptions relating to each item from each respective repository.

9.14 Alison Webster stated that there would be a two-stage approach, with A2A continuing to collaborate with local archives and “Linking Arms” taking forward cross searching and linking. She stated that The National Archives is working on a National Archives Network which is chaired by The National Archives’ Chief Executive, Sarah Tyacke, in parallel with Resource’s Archives Task Force.

9.15 Alison Webster thanked Dick Sargent for his presentation and the Panel members for their comments.
