Amber's use of the word 'corpus' reminded me of the Denham report http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/committees/jiie/27/jiie_08_18_annexc.pdf I can't find the letter from Ron Cooke to Malcolm Read but I'm sure that's what kick-started all of this in terms of the funding anyway (and Lou McGill I'm told).

Hi All David and I just discussed this on skype, i agree with him that the ukoer tag can usefully continue. Actually - it's fantastic that it's not us initiating this decision! Shows that the stakeholders in the ongoing release of OER are not just JISC or HEA, which is brilliant. We always have the date of release as a way of slicing it. So the history of ukoer might be 2009-2012 - funded release 2013 onwards - independent release For tracking impact of funding, the relationship between that funded phase and independent phase will be of interest to future researchers/policy makers. Whether as a whole, or by institution. We'll be able to tell by institution by the release date even if you don't tag it ukoer. I quite understand Sarah's point about Jorum, and certainly Jorum *is* the shop window but I think given the intention of sustainable release, the benefits of growth outweigh the benefits of clean measurement. This way, as a "corpus", as collections managers like to call it, if you use ukoer the ukoer commons will continue to grow. It is quite nice to have a shared identity at that level - I suspect that senior stakeholders like funding councils would like that too. And it would be good to show that Universities in the UK are contributing a lot to OER practice, even if we don't always follow the same models as the US or OERu.

My point was: it's been very useful to date having a single tag for JISC programme funded OERs to find, track, aggregate and use data about them. And it's not useful to just tag any OER created in the UK with it.

No. ukoer as a tag (both as a hashtag and as a tag on resources etc) is and always has been owned by the community that uses it. As long as it remains useful - keep using it.
