description of courses with LRMI / schema.org

[Phil Barker]

Hello all,
as you may know the idea of using LRMI / schema.org for describing
courses has been mooted several times over the last two or three years,
here and on the main schema.org mail lists. Most recently, Wes Turner
opened an issue on github which attracted some attention [1] and some
proposed solutions.

I lead a work package within the DCMI LRMI Task Group [2] to try to take
this forwards. To that end I and some colleagues in the Task Group have
given some thought to what the scope and use cases to be addressed might
be. You can see our notes as a Google Doc <https://goo.gl/CO6vKc>, you
should be able to add comments to this document and we would welcome
your thoughts. In particular we would like to know whether there are any
missing use cases or requirements. Other offers of help and ideas would
also be welcome!

I plan to compare the derived requirements with the proposed solutions
and with the data typically provided in web pages.

Best regards, Phil Barker
