Harvesting - We harvest metadata from OpenCourseWare repositories, the US National Science Digital Library, Ariadne, LACLO, MERLOT and other OER repositories (see http://www.folksemantic.com/feeds for a list of the feeds we harvest). We plan to harvest all GLOBE repositories. The Folksemantic harvester supports RSS, OAI-PMH, and SQI. We are adding support for crawling websites.

Recommendations - Folksemantic provides a recommendation service that can be used to easily add "related resources" links to web pages (see http://www.folksemantic.com/widgets). We are adding support for personalized recommendations. Recommendations can be requested in XML, RSS, and JSON formats.

OAI-PMH and SQI - We currently don't provide APIs for harvesting or searching our metadata. We plan to add support for search.

EDNA

 * Name: Education.au
 * Website: http://www.educationau.edu.au
 * Technical Contact : Jerry leeson : jleeson@educationau.edu.au

Additional Information : At the moment we attempt to search: - edna online - LORNET - ARIADNE - NIME - MERLOT

Of these, only edna online, LORNET and ARIADNE seem to work. I have not been able to perform any successful searches on NIME or MERLOT. We do not have any support at all for any of the other repositories. We have attempted to connect to III in Taiwan and LACLO in South America but have not established a stable connection.

We do no harvesting on any GLOBE repositories. We only perform federated search. We do however, harvest other collections extensively on other projects. These all use OAI-PMH which is what GLOBE recommends.

We use persistent identifiers in LORN and Scootle.

We use a number of metadata profiles across a range of projects (edna, vetadata, TLF profile). We use Dublin Core to describe resources in our edna 'referatory'. We use LOM for other projects that have LO repositories. We use two application profiles to support localised implementations.

We are currently undertaking a consultancy about a copyright matrix for open educational resources in Australia for the school sector. Key issues arising include the difficulty in making this simple. Identity is a key characteristic in determining rights currently in Australia.
