learning
… it is likely that a large part of the
student and teacher experience will be
managed within a systems framework
which manages the learning life-cycle
and interfaces to multiple systems and
services.

Institutional intellectual
assets
• Reputation management
– Interesting interaction between
• Devolved scholarly authority to contribute to discipline
• Managed university approach to asset and reputation
management
• Curatorial responsibility to the ‘intellectual
record’
• Enrich the discourse of scholarly
communication
– Surface rich resources
– New opportunities for access, analysis, re-use
context
• Research and learning behavior is
increasingly entering the network space
– Library resources need to be available at the
appropriate stage within the learning or research
environment
– Research and learning outputs require curatorial
attention
– New forms of engagement and support.

Two trends?
1. ‘Commodity’
2. ‘Institutional’
• The expense of
learning
• The sterility of
reinvention
• The ------ of tradition

context
• Need to un-construct
– Metadata
– Services
• …so that they can be recombined in new
ways.
• Tools and features previously available only
in integrated systems can now be provided as
'web services'
• “network accessible application components”
• “interoperable building blocks for constructing
applications”
• “self-describing applications that can be discovered and
accessed over the web by other applications”
interoperability as
recombinant potential
• Disaggregating
scholarly publishing
– Linking, Identifiers
• ‘Play’ learning objects
– Packaged
• Federated searching
– Fusing metadata
• Processing content
– Structured documents
• Ingesting content
• Surface service
channels
• Examples
– Can I add a document to
a repository?
– Can I add a repository to
a distributed query?
– Can I fuse metadata from
one repository with
another?
– Can I make an image
available in a learning
package
