sounds good - but this is more than what Rokham had done - as they have been working to revise it into a more general and powerful solution for the field.
I think they've basically taken Rokham's jackrabbit CMS stuff and added a new architecture for objects that expands to include semantic metadata (still not specified) and user interaction data) - this has resulted in a repository that would serve TELS, Toronto and SCY (Europe as well as ENLACE, from Spain). So we would effectively have a wide community who would be able to share objects and co-develop the portal and repository layers. goodness! The Europeans really liked O-trunk as a solution for a certain subset of their learning objects, and Jakob (lead techie from Twente, which is lead institution in SCY) will be here in berkeley tomorrow to start the install of the latest TELS portal stuff. This is why we want to focus on repositories and probably authoring for the workshop. Talk to you tomorrow - I think all the code they were working on is up in Google Code, and hopefully they can show everyone where to find it and maybe even a demo of something tomorrow. I'll be logging in from Monterey (going down there to write the WISE book). j On 15-May-08, at 1:56 PM, Scott Cytacki wrote: > > I've been making good progress on creating a jackrabbit/jcr backend to > OTrunk.
