The full text of a report by Lou Burnard and Harold Short entitled
AN ARTS AND HUMANITIES DATA SERVICE is now available from the URL

This report, commissioned by the JISC last year, sets out a scheme for
the establishment of a distributed Arts and Humanities Data Service
within the UK. Its proposals are now being implemented within the
framework of the Electronic Libraries Programme.
This version of the report is identical to the printed text published
earlier this year by the Office for Humanities Communication at Oxford,
being derived automatically from the same SGML source. The SGML original
uses the TEI Lite dtd, and can also be accessed using SGML-aware
browsers such as Panorama, from the URL
http://info.ox.ac.uk/~archive/AHDS/report/ahds.sgml
A new and improved version of the report, including direct links to
many of the Resources and Services discussed in it, will be made
available by UKOLN later in the year.
