learning
it is likely that a large part of the student
and teacher experience will be managed within a
systems framework which manages the learning
life-cycle and interfaces to multiple systems and
services.

Institutional intellectual assets

• Reputation management
• Interesting interaction between
• Devolved scholarly authority to contribute to
  discipline
• Managed university approach to asset and
  reputation management
• Curatorial responsibility to the intellectual
  record
• Enrich the discourse of scholarly communication
• Surface rich resources
• New opportunities for access, analysis, re-use

14
context

• Research and learning behavior is increasingly
  entering the network space
• Library resources need to be available at the
  appropriate stage within the learning or research
  environment
• Research and learning outputs require curatorial
  attention
• New forms of engagement and support.

25
context

• Need to un-construct
• Metadata
• Services
• so that they can be recombined in new ways.
• Tools and features previously available only in
  integrated systems can now be provided as 'web
  services'
• network accessible application components
• interoperable building blocks for constructing
  applications
• self-describing applications that can be
  discovered and accessed over the web by other
  applications

interoperability as recombinant potential

• Disaggregating scholarly publishing
• Linking, Identifiers
• Play learning objects
• Packaged
• Federated searching
• Fusing metadata
• Processing content
• Structured documents
• Ingesting content
• Surface service channels

• Examples
• Can I add a document to a repository?
• Can I add a repository to a distributed query?
• Can I fuse metadata from one repository with
  another?
• Can I make an image available in a learning
  package
