Re-usable Education Object Strategy
Identify types of educational objects and divide them and their properties into
- a) Education specific
- b) World Wide or Business Enterprise specific (Yahoo Netscape IBM etc. will define e.g. portalML, X3D, VML )
- c) Particular field specific (MathML, ChemistryML etc.)
Find where good standards exist and use them
Work with organizations to eventually agree on important missing standards (as with IMS and DoD ADL)
Define in XML, the missing interfaces as <yourinstitutiontrainingxml> and insist that vendors either adopt these interfaces or define their proprietary interfaces as <webctxml> <blackboardxml> <iplanetxml> <oraclexmlportlet> etc.
- Convert these temporary standards (either permanently or dynamically) to eventual <wwweducationandtrainingxml>
