Daniela Giordano, University of Catania Evangelia Mitsopoulou, St.George University of London Stathis Konstantinidis, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 1 Updates from mEducator Technical Reference Group MEDBIQUITOUS Learning Object Working Group meeting, September 2,

Introduction 2 Goal: update Medbiquitous LO WG on mEducator work on metadata Schema for sharing learning resources The work presented is meant to be of restricted access, since it is still work in progress It is Meducator strategic plan to pass any result through Medbiquitous To this extent we are sharing and discuss this material in this conference call.

mEducator approach to schema development 3 Focus on the conceptual model Semantics, multiplicity, mandatory, vocabularies Mapping to existing standards - metadata reuse Definition of Meducator application profile and RDF schema Meducator application profile editors

…Current status… 5 Most basic fields taken into account in the RDF schema Content type classification proposal defined in SKOS and circulated

Transition to RDF Conceptual Model Properties Some of them need also the defintion of Classes Who? Those ones that can be described by a controlled Vocabulary RDF In the end… We create Instances of the Classes

Emphasis is on content and activity Multiplicity: optional, single value Notes: Emphasis on content, on “ traditional ways ” of organizing information; terms from Mesh (subset) Multiplicity: mandatory, multiple value Notes: Media, social media Somewhat included delivery mode

To be done 1/2 10 “topic”/keywords field: keywords handled by drawing BOTH from controlled vocabulatories (MESH) and from free user input open issue: MESH - SNOMED support (e.g., a mashup to support term selection?) Modeling for educational context: Discipline: draw fromMesh health profession (multiple) Specialty: draw from Mesh health occupations (multiple) - and change name of field accordingly; Educational level (drawn from HLOM or DC)

To be done 2/2 11 Educational goal/outcomes to be dealt with as controlled vocabularies based on the analysis of current taxonomies – (awaiting input from mEducator Pedagogical Reference Group,cross mapping of various outcomes taxonomies completed, term selection to be done) Pedagogical model could be added as optional field (with controlled vocabulary) to supplement info about how the resource could be used - next iteration
