We plan to use the research outputs as follows:
• Make them part of a live operational public service
• Use them on further datasets and iteratively improve as we learn
• Use them to enable us to open more records
• Use them to feed into linked data work
• Encourage re-use through our online presence

5. Adding value to Discovery, our online catalogue
• Laurence Victor Lincoln
• George Cantley Saunders
