In this context 'we' is the ROADS project, a nationally funded UK
initiative which is developing a common platform for
several subject-based resource discovery services being supported as
part of the UK Electronic Libraries Programme

See <URL:http://ukoln.bath.ac.uk/roads> for more info on ROADS.

UKOLN will also be doing more work in this area.
