The Goal … an integrated suite of applications and services that support:  The Model  A Checklist Charles Kerns, SULAIR, Spring 2005 i.e., all academic (non-admin) work of students & faculty –teaching –informal learning –academic authoring –research –advising –program and curricula reviews

 search, browse, alert, …  explicit – formal & informal, institutional & personal A Checklist  The Goal content mgmt services rich metadata capabilities powerful discovery & navigation tools pervasive distribution & publication services + agents that can mine deep stores of content + tools to manage feeds & subscriptions from what's new services  local & distant  all formats & all sources  formal & informal + storage & preservation capacity to match  evolving toward my personal knowledge environment  all manner of resources (compound, complex, media, data, …)  any/multiple venues from wall-sized displays to personal phones  implicit – derived from the work and its associations + mapped networks of relationships (e.g., citations, use-patterns)  computed – taxonomic hierarchies, associative links

A Checklist  The Goal flexible, highly granular DRM services bandwidth that supports rich media, video, teleconferencing computing horsepower that scales to support the growth of srvcs  AuthN/Z, name, role, context  licenses, contracts, IP & other rights  types of use, redistribution, mixing  individuals, groups  departments & schools, campuses + delivery channels for all manner of device types components scope  world-wide collaboratories seamless, permanent access to content

Extending the interface-layer model  It’s a "many to many" problem JHU's "interface" layer  From CNI presentation, Spring 2005 A Technology analysis of repositories and services -- a Mellon project at Johns Hopkins University abstract: Johns Hopkins project site: myStuff work space, projects, drafts, tools & files

students  best work from my courses  search for a position  faculty advice on programs Extending the interface-layer model  support for all academic work research collaboration bring collaboration in as an explicit component of research group study bring group study into the mix as well job portfolio advising portfolio peer review peer review course include various flavors of ePortfolios program portfolio course portfolio course research myStuff work space, projects, drafts, tools & files faculty  academic program mgmt issues  advising students academic work Scope: amalgamate faculty & student activities
