description <p><strong>The JISC <em>Defining Image Access</em> Project</strong> was a six-month requirements analysis project (January to June 2007) funded by the JISC to investigate the feasibility of creating data webs that would permit subject-specific search integration of institutional repository image collections using Semantic Web techniques. This <strong>Final Report</strong>:</p> <ul><li>Describes the concept of data webs, in contrast to other forms of data integration across distributed heterogeneous resources;</li> <li>Describes project evaluations (a) of the institutional repositories at Cambridge, Imperial College, Oxford and Southampton Universities in terms of their software, image holdings and metadata exposure mechanisms, (b) of related projects, and (c) of Web standards, tools and software applications that might be employed to construct a data web for research images;</li> <li>Reports eight conclusions from these investigations, and proposes the future development of a demonstrator image web based on these findings and our pilot software developments; and</li> <li>Makes ten recommendations to institutional repository managers and to the JISC.</li></ul>
