LRE Added Value• MoE sharing resources that ‘travel well’

• Federated search from within national portals (Scoilnet)

• An open architecture that MoE can implement locally

• Social tagging and curriculum mapping tools

• LRE application profile, multilingual thesaurus, automatic metadata generation
