Are you just talking about mashups?
What do we mean by services?

We don’t have answers yet, but...
We have ideas over metadata approach http://rdtfmetadata.jiscpress.org/
We have funded experiments with open reusable data from libraries, museums and archives – a lot of these projects are evaluating a linked data approachhttp://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/inf11/infrastructureforresourcediscovery.aspx
And...
We'll make advice and guidance on this available
We'll devote effort to aggregating content and to building services that use content from a range of places in innovative ways
