intro
We’re often asked
“how will the data that you can get from ALISS be quality-assured?”
People can be quite anxious about this. We’ve designed things so the load can be shared across organisations, so that differing views can be accommodated, so that the way the ALISS community quality-assures material is ‘extensible’.

Once a resource is in the ALISS Engine, people with accounts can add keywords or more information, like sticking a post-it note on. We call that ‘curation’, meaning collecting information and labelling it in ways that make it more useful and easier to find.

All curations are combined with original resources in the index. So if someone sees a resource as being useful for a different group, they can tag it and it will then show up in searches using that tag.

Searches on the Engine will use the combined index entry to make the resource more findable, or a search can be limited to resources curated by a particular group or groups.
A key concept here is the ‘ALISS account’, which identifies different collections of ALISS resources. These accounts can be linked together in a variety of ways, across organisations or parts of the same one.
