OpenEducationalResources

technical core

• content: anything digital

• metadata: LOM

• minimal application profile

• harvesting: OAI-PMH

• open target with all metadata from all

• federated search: SQI

• registry: LODE

Sure, there are a lot of problems remaining...

identity (people, content), dis-/re-aggregation, IPR & copyright, packaging & format, user tracking, vocabularies, and many more

But we are not making full use of what we have!

loads of good examples in music

iTunes Genius, last.fm, pandora.com, tunify.com, blip.fm, deezer.com, grooveshark.com, mufin.com, yamelo.com,

jango.com, imeem.com, musicmesh.net, jiwa.fm, ...and many many many many more

snowflake in music...

nice bootstrapping, too!25

We do NOT (need to) understand how music works!

warning:design is difficult...
