For organisational reasons the project had to extract itself from using Drupal into a stand alone thing

sustainability: under discussion with wider HEA community

content from JourmOpen via Xpert but may try separate search via JorumOpen api for richer access
Posted by johnr at 2011-01-24 13:56:41
Xpert API has developed really well - consequently it's richer and more complex to interface with- this is taking a little more time than anticipated
Posted by johnr at 2011-01-24 13:55:01
Uses xpert api for dynamic collection but api has quantity rather than quality of metadata

Custom PHP and mySQL backend with drupal

also pulling in information via api from other sources eg -image from flickr to illustrate materials being retrieved

Geospatial view is an experiment (may also use Edina's Unlock service (as is GEES))
Posted by johnr at 2011-01-24 13:50:09
Interface/ portal is a search interface - compares to static collection and dynamic search via xpert present both search results in a page. also creating geospatial interface.

Using established metadata set and taxonomies but with some extensions
Posted by johnr at 2011-01-24 13:45:19
Hoping to use fewer rather than more standards
Posted by johnr at 2011-01-24 13:44:28
More speculative real time search alongside this
Posted by johnr at 2011-01-24 13:44:09
Rich metadata for static resources
Posted by johnr at 2011-01-24 13:42:08
Also working with XPert

Seeking to use (and help develop if applicable) APIs for existing discovery services.

Static collection - 1st yr materials from: "significant OER nodes such as JorumOpen, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Open Courseware and OpenLearn and recent JISC/HEA projects but also from other smaller independent sources of OERs."
