What is Edu. Source? A test bed for a network of Learning Objects Repositories Suite of Tools, Community of Practice, CANCORE profile Founded on international standards (W 3 C and IMS) and an open source approach An 18 months, CANARIE founded project (4, 25 M$) Terminated since March 2004; a community of developpers/users to be maintained through LORNET and other initiatives

Specs/Standards/Profiles Metadata Formats IEEE LOM Dublin Core (DC) CANCORE Communication Protocols OAI, Z 39. 50 Web Services SOAP, WSDL, UDDI Implementation Specifications IMS DRI (Interoperability) IMS CP (Content Packaging) IMS LD (Learning Design) ODRL (Digital Rights)
edu. Source Results Cancore 2. 0 DRM Model LOR Communities of Practices edu. Source suite of tools Architecture Documents Three Ways to Access Resources: Network search, e. RIB, Repository and Platform connection ECL connector and gateway, Common Search Component, edu. Source Registry Services, e. RIB tools Software Specifications for Learning Design, LD content packaging and DRM To be developed in LORNET
Conceptual framework Metadata Repository edu. Source Services Legacy Tools Metadata Repository Services DRM services Communication Kernel Portals e. Learning Middleware Services Agents Comp. . Digitized Resource Repository Resource Manage. Services OTHER LCMS /Agents
Three ways to use edu. Source 1 - Infoseeking through Federated Search and Harvesting 2 - Repository-in-the-box (e. RIB) 3 - Registering a repository in edu. Source (ECL)
1 – Search in the network through the edu. Source Portal General public access to the edu. Source network of repositories Limited to infoseeking without data storage Federated Search Harvesting possible edusource. licef. teluq. uquebec. ca/ese/en/index. jsp
2 - Install and use an edusource e. RIB Create a new edu. Source Node Install an XML DB and a Web interface Use Edusource Tools: Metatagger, Common Search Package Turnkey, Free, Adaptable Open source Complete Access to the Edusource Network Community of Practice or Create your own
3 – Connect an existing repository Translate communication protocols Translate Metadata FORMATS Half a day to develop a connector Gateways for other repositories
The ECL Gateway Enables edu. Source to connect to other protocols and international projects A special edu. Source MDR with an ECL connector to pass requests from ECL clients to non edu. Source repositories (Smete, Ed. Na) Provides 2 -way translation between IEEELOM and DC for OAI MDRs (eventually for Z 39. 50) Enables OAI servers to search the edu. Source Newwork for LOMs The Gateway can be easily updated to other external MDRs and standards External communication for edu. Source can be handled by more than one Gateway
edu. Source Gateways and Clients
The ECL Connector 1) SOAP-ECL request from ECL client extracted 2) Connector creates a Java request 3) Sends requests to Repositories 4) Java search object created and launched within metadata repositories 5) For edu. Source repositories: 6 OAI-Gather methods 6) Results (LOM records) serialized back in a SOAP message 7) SOAP engine sends the list of LOMs to the ECL client
The Common Search Component (CSC) Federator Client Pto. P Client Harvestor Client CSC Search Result Display
The edu. Source Registry of Services (ERS) A UDDI registry grouping information provided by each metadata repository (MDR) managers when they first register to edu. Source or when they update or add services Makes each MDR known to the edu. Source network Enables ECL clients to find end points and create their own community of repositories Enables publication of new Web services provided by different stakeholders
Connection of a platform to edu. Source (The EXPLOR@-II case) Explor@ - II, a e. Learning system that: Aggregates resources, activities and actors for learning or knowledge working Builds and manages research repositories (Savoir. Net) Offers open integration of resources found using a search engine Manages all kinds of ressources, including its own tools for search, access protection and aggregation edu. Source adds search in multiple repositories (adding an ECL connector)
edu. Source Search within Explor@
Explor@-II Extended Search

Theme 1 - Interoperability of Learning Objects Repositories 2 Vision 6 5 3 The key to interoperability is linking and communicating in a meaningful way. Learning Objects Repositories provide a practical research arena for the semantic Web. 4 Research Areas Lightweight ontology mapping Semantic cobblestones Ontological educational markup languages Ontology-based communication tools Sustainable learning objects ecosystems Mobile learning environments Team Semantic Tech Lab, Simon Fraser University Thomas Calvert, Marek Hatala, Vive Kumar, Rob Woodbury, Griff Richards, Samuel Pierre
Theme 2 - Learning Object Design and Aggregation Vision 1 6 5 3 4 Research Areas Educational modeling languages Multi-actor workflow models Knowledge representation of actors, activities and resources Adaptive assistance to actors Learning objects become significant through the activities they support. Dynamic aggregation models provide multi-actor adaptive interfaces and assistance.
