OpenEducationalResources

technical core

• content: anything digital

• metadata: LOM

• minimal application profile

• harvesting: OAI-PMH

• open target with all metadata from all

• federated search: SQI

• registry: LODE

Sure, there are a lot of problems remaining...

identity (people, content), dis-/re-aggregation, IPR & copyright, packaging & format, user tracking, vocabularies, and many more

But we are not making full use of what we have!
