Semantic TechnologiesCETIS activities in the domain of semantic technologies currently focus on the potential benefits and affordances of these technologies to the teaching and learning sector. Given that semantic technologies have the unique ability to dynamically describe complex and evolving concepts, resources and relationship one would expect these technologies to be highly applicable to the domain of teaching and learning. To date however semantic technologies have not been widely employed to support the process and practice of teaching and learning. CETIS aims to identify applications of semantic technology within the teaching and learning domain, explore the educational potential of emergent technologies such as linked data and inform JISC and the UK F/HE community of potentially relevant developments in this field. This work relates to the Learning Resources and Activities area of the JISC eLearning Programme. Articles

The Learning Resource Metadata Initiative aimed to help people discover useful learning resources by adding to the schema.org ontology properties to describe educational characteristics of creative works. Well, as of the release of schema draft version 1.0a a couple of weeks ago, the LRMI properties are in the official schema.org ontology.
Schema.org represents two things: 1, [...]

Lorna and I recently contributed a study on possible reforms to JACS, a study which is part of a larger piece of work on Redesigning the HE data landscape. JACS, the Joint Academic Coding System, is mainatained by HESA (the Higher Education Statistics Agency) and UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) as a means [...]

Last weekend, a motley crew of designers, students, developers, business and government people came together in Edinburgh to prototype designs and apps to help learners manage their journeys. With help, I built a prototype that showed how curriculum and course offering data can be combined with e-portfolios to help learners find their way.
The first official [...]

Over the summer I’ve done a couple of presentations about what schema.org is and how it is implemented (there are links below). Quick reminder: schema.org is a set of microdata terms (itemtypes and properties) that big search engines have agreed to support. I haven’t said much about why I think it is important, with the [...]

As you may know, I have been involved in the development of the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative’s extension of schema.org since about this time last year. Things are shaping up well for the inclusion of the LRMI properties in the main schema.org vocabulary, so this seems like a good time(*) to start explaining and promoting [...]
