Development begins on Open Search - building on the work of IRISS and utilising SRU
CLA archive - link to resources directly from the VLE
CLA digitisation service very successful - widely used across institution with over 1000 resources uploaded to date

JorumOpen released - all UKOER resources must be uploaded to national JISC supported repository
Work closely with Jorum on bulk upload of IMS from Leeds Met to JorumOpen
Jorum able to download .zip of all resources for bulk import

Cross-institutional project (ACErep) - searching and depositing health related Learning Objects into multiple repositories

Multiple Application Profiles for different resource-types. IEEE LOM mapped to DC for research material—extracted by SRU and formatted programmatically
Future Developments• Improved workflows for OA research/OER deposit (SWORD)• Ongoing development to Open Search (eg. improved browse)• Dynamic bibliographic feeds to author web-pages• VLE integration• Build on Bibliosight & Streamline• Search Engine Optimisation
UKOER project - Unicycle
http://unicycle-leedsmet.ning.com/
• Funded under JISC ukoer (phase 1)
• Develop process by which staff able to contribute to and draw upon a central repository of OER• Granular approach to OER• “Resources” rather than “Courseware”• Simple Application Profile – ukoer guidelines• Mediated deposit• Leeds Met repository, Jorum Open and other suitable outlets
An Application Profile for UKOER• Discussion coordinated by CETIS http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/lmc/2009/03/30/metadata-guidelines-for-the-oer-programme/• Keep it simple
• Mandatory fields• Recommended fields
• Individual projects should think about their own metadata requirements• Interoperability
Mandatory Metadata• Programme tag – ukoer• Author / owner / contributor • Date• URL• Title • Technical Information
(Licence info soon became mandatory!)
Recommended Metadata• Language• Subject classifications • Keywords• Tags• Comments • Description
Interoperability?• Leeds Met – intraLibrary (IEEE LOM) • JorumOpen – DSpace (Dublin Core)• Harvest ukoer projects by RSS (link only)• Bulk upload of IMS Content Package (Resource + imsmanifest.xml)• Virtual Maths resource in JorumOpen• Little point in metadata not supported by Jorum (or is there?)
ALPS CETL repository project (ACErep)
• Search across multiple platforms for ALPS resources• Download resource from any of the platforms into the working arena of their choice• Adapt existing resource to suit local use• Deposit original/adapted resource into one or more of the repositories maintained by CETL partners
Possible scenarios
• Bespoke portal to cross-search IRs• Submit to an IR by SWORD • Harvest / index metadata• Submit to Jorum by SWORD • Search Jorum from portal
• ALPS may require different metadata than UKOER• Explicit priority from user group: resources presented in context of specific learning/assessment outcomes • Can Jorum accommodate this?• No Open API for Jorum
But...
The solution – Xpert?• http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xpert/ • Distributed repository of e-learning resources• Metadata aggregation• Harvest by RSS and OAI-PMH• APIs available - Xpert Labs • http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xpert/labs/
Harvest OAI-PMH/search using Xpert API

“There it was. Title. Link. Item. Description. Enclosure. Author.
Category. Pub date. It were a simple format, you didn’t need anything else. Ask yourself, what more do you need?”
Winston Jingo on RSS harvestThe Plight of Metadata (2010)

May require bespoke metadata for ACErepe.g. resources presented in context of
specific learning/assessment outcomesWinston meet OAI-PMH http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xpert/
YSJ Digirep
Deposit Form(ALPS metadata)Selective
SWORD deposit depending on user-affiliation
All deposits to JorumOpen
Possible scenario for SWORD deposit
What about resource
duplication?
SWORD and metadata• intraLibrary accepts IMSCP by SWORD• JorumOpen (DSpace) accepts METS by SWORD• Digirep – no SWORD yet (expect IMSCP)• LUDOS – no SWORD yet (expect METS)• Need to package metadata as IMSCP and METS
