XCRI Support page
The XCRI Project was funded from 2007 to 2008 by JISC to support the development and adoption of the XCRI specification, providing this content which was generated within the wiki and the time of people to support the work involved. The team the the responsibility to ensure that at the end of the funding period all XCRI specifications work is transferred to an open specification process. This current site offers a backup of work generated during that time.
