Controlling your Language – Links to Metadata Vocabularies

By sleslie on March 28, 2004

http://www.tasi.ac.uk/resources/vocabs.html In searching out existing controlled vocabularies for a project you could do far worse as a starting point than this extensive collection from the ‘Technical Advisory Service for Images,’ another JISC-funded service. Hats off to David Mattison for the pointer. – SWL

RSS Feeds from Repository Projects

By sleslie on March 22, 2004

http://www.bloglines.com/myblogs_display? folder=621267&since=9&Display=Display Note what I mean here are the LOR projects (not the repositories themselves, which you can find over here) that are producing RSS feeds as a way to communicate about their projects or otherwise coordinate their efforts.

Joint IMS/CNI Whitepaper on interoperation between different types of 'repositories'

By sleslie on March 16, 2004

http://www.imsglobal.org/ DLims_white_paper_publicdraft_1.pdf I can only assume that the only reason someone didn’t point this paper out to me during my recent thrashing about concerning the difference between ‘institutional’ repositories and ‘learning object’ repositories is that, like me, they had never seen it before (or maybe you’re all just sadists and like to watch me flail [...]

By sleslie on March 4, 2004
