Re: DESIRE Project

Hi Mark, Rachel et al.,

The DESIRE project has been post-funding since 1999 or so. Not sure what's
up with the Schema's Forum site, but I think the same folks are behind the 
CORES project, see http://www.cores-eu.net/registry/

Maybe someone from UKOLN will reply with more details from their side. In 
Bristol, both Dave Beckett(ILRT) and Damian Steer (via ILRT) were involved 
with (CORES/Schema) client/server tool development for schema registries. 
I think you know them both; cc:'d in case they have any more info.

cheers,

Dan (ex-DESIRE project person)
