A Web interface … easy-to-find and easy-to-use :
This « hub » is not just one more interface, it must gather:
Resources, for users Data, on the Web.

Bringing them together…
… redirecting towards specific tools:
Does not replace existing cataloguesDoes not include a search engine
… using FRBR Associated and interoperable with new
cataloguing principles In order to regroup resources

Un travail sur les données
Combining a "traditional" Web interface with a "Linking open data" approach: Bringing up information around a concept: the
choice of RDF A "regular" Web interface, Beyond the interface, persistent URLs. A back-office work on the data
Bringing data together An end-user interface “Raw data" too
