Packaged Content

Packaged content refers to complex resources made up from distinct media assets structured in some meaningful way. The IMS Content Packaging specification and its derivatives (e.g. IMS Common Cartridge and ADL SCORM) are well established, but newer contributions range from the semantic-web oriented OAI-ORE specification to web 2.0 approaches such as mash-ups and RSS/ATOM feeds with embedded rich media.

This work relates to the Learning Resources and Activities area of the JISC eLearning Programme, and to the JISC Information Environment programme.

There were two themes running through this workshop organised by the Strategic Content Alliance: technical potential and legal barriers. An important piece of background is the Hargreaves report.
