Yep, it would.
My first shot at working out which properties match (posted here so that
folk can tell me what I've got wrong). I think Pat is right in
suggesting that an OER as a product is the best fit (though I'm not sure
it's a great one).
See https://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=146750
=Mandated Metadata=
Programme tag = Brand?
Project tag = Brand?
Title = name
Author / owner / contributor = seller?
Date =
URL = offerURL (but not on OER page itself)
Licence information [Use CC code] price=0
=Suggested Metadata=

Subject = category
Keywords = category?
Additonal tags = category?
Comments = a review
Description = description
According to the guidance from Google the Seller property can contain a
person or organization, so you could follow
https://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=146646
to describe the Author/owner/contributor with a sort of RDF-ified vCard
(yeuch, vCards. I hate vCards)
I've tried all of that at http://www.icbl.hw.ac.uk/~philb/temp/gglSnip.html
You can see the result at on the Google rich snippet testing tool at
http://bit.ly/fZFveJ
(I'm not sure that I got the Person as Seller property bit right).
Thoughts? Myself, I'm not sure that it gives us much, though I guess
what is more important is what google does with what it gives them.
