Hi people,

I saw this on the OpenDocument discuss list and thought that perhaps somebody 
would be interested in it.  In fact, some people I know may be interested in 
being part of a consortium if we can put something together.

The problem seems to be that we need a UK university as part of the 
consortium.  Do we have contacts there?

Just got wind of this JISC grant which may be of interest to list
members (note that would probably have to be as part of a consortium
if not already UK university staff):

----------------
JISC invites institutions to submit funding proposals for projects to:

         o develop interoperability demonstrators to help improve the
           efficiency and effectiveness with which research papers are
           deposited into repositories
         o develop, provide examples for, and a limited support
           facility for, a Data Audit Framework
         o implement a version of the 'Data Audit Framework'
           methodology in a range of institutions and subject areas

The deadline for receipt of proposals in response to this call is*
12*:*00 noon* on* Monday 14 January 2008*
Funding is available for projects starting from February 2008 for up to
12 months depending on the area of work. All projects must be complete
by March 2009.
--------------

Which for everyone else contains this reference to a suggested
solution to an aspect of the problem:

"A deposit engine converts the paper into a recognised open XML format
such as Open Document Format and generates suggestions for as much
metadata as possible from the clues available to it. "

Is a start, anyway. The document the quote is from was of course Word...
