DESCRIPTION
Royal Holloway Course Data Project PosterTRANSCRIPT
Course Data: making the most of course information
Aim At Royal Holloway we aim to use enterprise
architecture (EA) techniques to inform a holistic course data ecosystem that will provide a foundation for strategic future
organisational transformation and compliance around course advertising, course data management and syllabus
management.
The problem The college’s Course Finder project and
JISC Course Data Stage 1 project revealed how much manual effort is required to
maintain course data in various repositories, how little automated data reuse there is across systems and how
difficult it is to bring all relevant information together for a college wide
advertising service.
The ESB provides a means of
communication between web
services of our legacy
applications, new data warehouse and application
servers in a service oriented
architecture.
From the legacy systems we extract the data that they
are authoritative for and add them into
the new schema while the other data in the schema will be managed by the data management system through a
web service.
The new data warehouse will host a schema
which provides a single view of all course data and
will be populated from the data
requirements of the legacy
applications and other course
related data sets such as XCRI-CAP and KIS.
XCRI-CAP feed and any other data
requirement could be generated from the
data warehouse through web services.
