2.  Problem ◦ Lack of standardisation mechanisms, that enable state-of-the-art of medical educational resources to be discovered, retrieved, shared and re-used across European Academic Institutionsenable state-of-the-art of medical educational resources MedBiquitous Annual Conference 2011  Solution ◦ Standardised format of description of the resources by means of metadata ◦ Metadata need to be described by state-of-the-art e-learning standards and make use of their many advantages  Semantic Web, Linked Data  Aim ◦ To improve medical & healthcare education 2

3.  General Characteristics  To describe core data about the resources  To describe educational aspects of the resources  To be implemented by state-of-the-art specifications MedBiquitous Annual Conference 2011 3  Need to be widely used (interoperable)  Reusing existing e-learning standards  Should not reinvent the wheel  Extending e-learning standards to describe new concepts i.e. Repurposing, Companionship, Attention

11.  Standardisation format in order to enable sharing and retrieving of resources is essential  Choice of the right format (RDF/XML) will link the data of the Web. Benefits: ◦ Access existing knowledge ◦ Interoperability between resources  Shift towards an Ontology MedBiquitous Annual Conference 2011 11

16. Aim: To enable specialized state-of-the-art medical educational content of varying types to be discovered, retrieved, shared and re-used across European higher academic institutions. How: By implementing and evaluating two different solutions A “mashup” platform that aggregates content published in isolated Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) A federated architecture of LCMSs based on Semantic Web Services for search, interchange and delivery of learning objects Medical Educational Resources
