DSpace Developers, DuraSpace has been contacted by Creative Commons about integrating LRMI (Learning Resource Metadata Initiative) metadata into the DSpace web interface.
Briefly put, LRMI is an initiative to develop standard tagging of educational/learning resources on the web (based on Schema.org). For much more information about LRMI, see their website at: http://lrmi.net Creative Commons has funding available to any developer or institution/corporation that may be willing to take on this work. They have also offered the consultation services of their LRMI Tech Lead to help spec out the necessary work with interested parties. Because DuraSpace does not have the developer resources to take this project on ourselves, we'd like to offer it up to interested community developer(s). If you or your institution/corporation would be interested in working to integrate DSpace with LRMI, please get in touch. The goal here would be to not only develop this LRMI integration, but also provide occasional updates, so that other developers & Committers have an opportunity to provide suggestions/feedback. Ideally, we'd prefer this work to be done as publicly as possible (e.g. via GitHub or another public code repository, with regular updates via JIRA or a Wiki page). The hope is that this work may be eventually brought back into out-of-the-box DSpace, assuming it gets approval from our Committers team and the developer community in general. So, as I said, please get in touch if you are interested in this work. I can also gladly connect you with folks at Creative Commons should you want more information on LRMI or the project in general. Thanks, - Tim -- Tim Donohue Technical Lead for DSpace Project DuraSpace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
