Hi all,
After my brief informal presentation on the paper Jane Barton and I have
submitted to the ALT-C research strand (Quality Assurance for Digital
Learning Object Repositories: The Power of Metadata), you now have the
chance to read the draft paper and send us comments. Whether or not the
paper is accepted for ALT-C we intend to continue with investigating and
disseminating the issues it raises and we would like as much feedback as
possible from the relevant communities of practice. Any relevant
references or research that we have missed would also be very helpful.
The paper is available as a Word document at:
http://metadata.cetis.ac.uk/private/currier_barton_03.doc
A parallel paper (abstract only) has also been submitted to the
Libraries Without Walls conference. It will differ significantly because
it is aimed at an e-library audience rather than an e-learning audience,
hence issues need to be emphasised differently, but we hope that we are
contributing to this kind of dissemination no longer being necessary!
I will also be asking for feedback from other relevant lists, including
MEG, DC-General, INSPIRAL and DiVLE, as well as from the IMS Digital
Libraries SIG and the library cataloguing list CIGS (Cataloguing and
Indexign Group Scotland). Do let us know if you think there is anyone
else who would be interested.
Responses either directly to myself and Jane via my email address, or
via this list if you'd prefer. We've already had excellent feedback from
several people. Please note, this really is a very early draft and was
banged out in a very short time!
Many thanks
Sarah
