A Simple Query Interface for Interoperable Learning Repositories
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to achieve interoperability among learning repositories, implementers require a common communication framework for querying. This paper proposes a set of methods referred to as Simple Query Interface (SQI) as a universal interoperability layer for educational networks. The methods proposed can be used by a source for configuring and submitting queries to a target system and retrieving results from it. The SQI interface can be implemented in a synchronous or an asynchronous manner. SQI abstracts from query languages and metadata schemas. SQI has been evaluated by several prototype implementations demonstrating its universal applicability, and is on the way to being standardized in the CEN/ISSS Learning Technologies Workshop. The latest developments of SQI can be followed at http://www.prolearn-project.org/lori/.

Spinning Interoperable Applications for Teaching & Learning using the Simple Query Interface
The Web puts a huge number of learning resources within reach of anyone with Internet access. However, many valuable resources are difficult to find due to the lack of interoperability among learning repositories. In order to achieve interoperability, implementers require a common query framework. This paper discusses a set of methods referred to as Simple Query Interface (SQI) as a universal i...
متن کاملBinding the Simple Query Interface
The Simple Query Interface (SQI) is a query transport standard that is becoming widely used within the e-learning community. Thanks to a common WSDL binding, SQI-compliant repositories of learning resources can query each other. This common binding directly maps the SQI specification. As a consequence, many remote calls (known to present an important latency) are necessary to query a repository...
متن کاملTowards Interoperable Learning Object Repositories: The Ariadne Experience
In this paper, we present an approach for producing interoperable metadata by mapping metadata structures of application profiles into standard metadata structures. As a study case, we map the ARIADNE metadata structure into the LOM structure. We use XSLT to transform ARIADNE XML instances into IEEE LOM Instances. Finally, we validate the resulting LOM XML instances. The major contribution of t...
متن کاملIntegrating XQuery-enabled SCORM XML Metadata Repositories into an RDF-based E-Learning P2P Network
Edutella is an RDF-based E-Learning P2P network that is aimed to accommodate heterogeneous learning resource metadata repositories in a P2P manner and further facilitate the exchange of metadata between these repositories based on RDF. Whereas Edutella provides RDF metadata repositories with a quite natural integration approach, XML metadata repositories have to overcome considerable incompatib...
متن کاملReusable Learning Objects: Designing Metadata Management Systems supporting Interoperable Learning Object Repositories
Metadata can significantly assist in effectively accessing and managing learning objects. Currently, there are many systems which are intended to collect, share and reuse distributed learning objects, presenting the end-user with a uniform interface to search, access and evaluate these resources. On the other hand, although a generally accepted international standard for describing educational ...
