Hi Sarah,
Great idea to use a blog for the project! It is
often difficult to keep up to date about projects without re-visiting a project
website, which you then forget etc.
Now, I just added the RSS feed to my list of feeds
in my RSS reader and even if you only update the info once every month or so,
I'll be able to stay informed.
I like the new hair btw ;-)
p.s. I know you don't *need* a blog to have an RSS
feed, but with blog software, 99% of the time it is included in the (free)
package and you don't need to know about how to create a feed etc.

Subject: An interesting metadata/LO
blog
Hi all,
We've got a blog for our new digital LO
repository project, and we've (well, Neil) found another one with some
interesting and provocative chat on metadata & LOs. It's based around a
university repository in the USA which has already gathered some 800 learning
objects. I just posted to this guy's blog to let him know that CETIS has
indeed already produced what he calls The Thick Headed Lunkers Guide
to Meta Data For Totally Idiotic People. AKA the "Draft Guide to Metadata"-
which is still pretty good all these years
later.
I guess I should start you off
at our blog, which mentions his in its most recent post:
http://storcuram.blogs.com/weblog/
They call their metadata forms "packing slips" which I really
like.
Best
Sarah
P.S. I've done a couple of posts myself on
digital rights management and taxonomies/thesauri for
Stòr
Cùram.
