MACE case study

1. MACE Case Study
Gonzalo Parra
K.U.Leuven

2. Starting point
• Repositories with architectural
learning resources, but:
• isolated solutions
• not widely known
• no single access point
• No exchange and
interconnection

3. Objectives
• Create a conceptual and
technical infrastructure to
• connect contents via
metadata
• connect existing
communities
• provide federated search and
access
• create a sustainable
knowledge network

4. User groups
Academic
• Schools and universities of
Architecture
• Students and teachers
• Researchers
Professional
• Architects, architectural
companies
• Information brokers
• Travel companies

7. Metadata enrichment
Learning resources described in MACE application
profile based on IEEE LOM 1484.12.1
• Learners and social communities
• Tags, Recommendations, Notes
• Name, title, location, etc.
• Own resources
• Experts through MACE classification group
• Classification
• Confirm learner contributions

8. Bridging repositories
