There has been quite a bit of activity of late in LOM space:
* As LOM is now about 5 years old, the reaffirmation process to
re-confirm the standard has been initiated.
* The work om the LOM corrigenda was concluded in June. Some
documentation can be found
at http://ariadne.cs.kuleuven.be/mediawiki/index.php/Lomv1.1 and
the drafting of the "official" IEEE document is underway.
* A new PAR (the "official" document that starts projects at IEEE)
for mapping LOM to the abstract Dublin Core model is being drafted
in the DCMI-LTSC task force. More details
at http://dublincore.org/educationwiki/DCMIIEEELTSCTaskforce.
* Over the last year or so, there has been quite a bit of discussion
on how we want to make LOM evolve over the longer term. The time
has come to consolidate that discussion, gather requirements and
start thinking about how to meet those.
We will re-start a series of open, regular, synchronous discussions in
order to first bring everybody up-to-date on these activities and then
to progress the work. THESE MEETINGS ARE OPEN TO ALL. Feel free to
forward this announcement to anyone that might be interested.
The first such meeting will take place on
Monday 26 November, at 17h00 UTC
(see for
instance http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx to map
this to your local time!)
We will use the flashmeeting system for such meetings as they enable
anyone with a browser to participate - there are no costs involved! If
you have sound, then you can hear what is being said. If you can see
video, then you can see participants with a camera. If you have a
microphone, then you can speak to the other participants. If you have a
webcam, then other participants can see you. In any case, you can use
the chat facility. And: the meeting will be recorded and can be viewed
afterwards by anyone. More details about flashmeeting
at http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/.
The meeting next Monday will take place at
http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/fm/df41dd-10825
It might be useful to inform us via the mailing list or by email to me
directly if you plan to participate - that helps to set expectations and
I can try to help if you experience problems connecting. If you can't
participate, but would like to send comments or questions to the group,
then feel free to post them on the mailing list or send them to me
directly. There will be regular such virtual meetings from now on and we
can discuss the use of other tools for collaboration, either next week
at the meeting or via the mailing list.
Looking forward to discuss All Things LOM next week!
