Tools within OER Commons <http://www.oercommons.org/> and the Learning
Registry Collector<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/learning-registry-collect/gokkceknfbfilbgiekebgcdgcgconcik>browser app are built to do exactly what Greg described. I am also hopeful
someone will convert the criteria of the Equip Tri-State Rubrics<http://www.achieve.org/EQuIP>into a Chrome browser app. That app would be very useful to the K-12
community as we look to ensure resources embody the full spirit of the
Common Core.
Anyone currently developing such a tool?

<br>That is outside of the scope of LRMI and Schema.org (the ontology within
