3. Today research is the material for
tomorrow education
Secretary-General of the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Remarks at China Development Forum: Envisioning the 2016 G20 Summit in China
It’s clear that the
knowledge and
technology
diffusion
“machine” is
broken
Out of sync and on demand

4. Berlin Declaration on Open Access
to Knowledge in the Sciences and
Humanities (2003)
We define open access as a
comprehensive source of human
knowledge and cultural heritage
that has been approved by the
scientific community.

5. What makes modern information
management system tick?
- capacity,
- sustainability (through policies),
- financial support,
- true grit
What are the most important things
when you evaluate a system?

6. A rich technology ecosystem
● An information management system is easy to
achieve today (look at open source)
● RESTful APIs are a great tool, but not the goal
● Metadata schemas are everywhere for all the
purposes
● Vocabularies to describe objects are abundant
● Hosting is cheap (cloud)
● Experimentation has never been easiest.

7. Eased communication with other
systems
Forming a mesh of services and if
possible rich context
Focal points:
- learning objects (education)
- research results (scholarly
communication)

8. Points of reference for entities
● The Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) defines a learning object as
"any entity, digital or non-digital, that may be
used for learning, education or training"
(Learning Object).
Encourage the open
licensing of educational
materials produced with
public funds

9. Both types of works are linked on
the requirements:
interoperable

10. Hey, this is a digital repository?!

11. Invenio

12. A matter of templating?

13. What it would take for a research
object to become a learning object?
There is a bundle forming a central
point for a possible bridge:
- metadata (Dublin Core application profile?)
- copyright (open licensing)
- open data (RDF)
