CETIS OER Support
Programme level support for JISC and projects Technical guidelines, e.g.
what packaging and syndication formats are used/appropriate what dissemination platforms are used/appropriate what resource descriptions are used/appropriate why and how of resource tracking, versioning, lifecycles
Don’t want to be intrusive, but we have some expectation that projects will communicate with us
For more details on how CETIS works see http://www.slideshare.net/philb/jisc-cetis-support-for-ukoer(Slides from UKOER start-up meeting)

Exposing metadata
Most platforms for sharing/managing resources show lots of metadata (even if you don’t realise it).
E.g. http://www.slideshare.net/philb/jisc-cetis-support-for-ukoer http://www.flickr.com/photos/philbarker/376795274/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRBIVRwvUeE
Useful for resource discovery via Google
UKOER programme 2nd Tuesday: Metadata. 11 Aug 2009
Structured Metadata
Useful if you want computers to understand the metadata
Not necessary for resource discovery via Google Useful for resource management
Using a standard structure is useful if you want to share it between computers
But does this happen? (vote)
UKOER programme 2nd Tuesday: Metadata. 11 Aug 2009
Sharing Metadata
Did you think of sharing structured metadata in repository-land
eg LOM, DC, OAI-PMH, IMS-CP . . .
or in web-land? eg RSS, ATOM, OPML . . .
(or maybe you thought of library-land eg MARC, RDA, Z39.50, SRU . . .
)
UKOER programme 2nd Tuesday: Metadata. 11 Aug 2009
