Hello Adrian, everyone,
Stuart Sutton might be best placed to answer some of these
questions that relate to changes in the DCMI web site, but I am
not sure whether he is able to answer emails at the moment so I
will try.
LRMI task group is active. Currently focussing on some proposed work for describing competency frameworks. We have monthly calls (though yesterday's was cancelled). Perhaps we should do more to encourage widened participation in these.
The wiki not existing is, I think, due to some changes at DCMI.
Sorry I don't know why.
The work on the vocabularies stalled due to a dependencies on PURLs while the PURL resolver was broken. I am sorry that we got distracted and didn't pick it up again when that was fixed; I think we should. The (moved) github repository is the most up to date record of that work, the google doc has served its purpose--I will annotate it as such.
Would you like to join the next call? Normally they are on the third Thursday of the month.
Regards, Phil
Phil Barker.

Hi Adrian and Phil. Phil is correct that on all counts. The LRMI TG is active. DCMI is going through a update and consolidation of its technical infrastructure, part of which was the decommissioning of the wiki. The next step will be integration of the current LRMI website into the new DCMI website infrastructure. The functions of the LRMI wiki will resume there.Phil is correct that the work on the first phase of the LRMI value vocabularies is complete and resolution of the the long absence of the PURL service means our final step is assignment of concept and concept scheme PURLs. That happens in the first week of December. We'll announce their publication here and on the LRMI site. The github vocabularies to be published now are:
- Alignment Type
- Educational Audience Role
- Educational Use
- Interactivity Type
Further work needs to be done on Learning Resource Type and a decision made as to the accessibility vocabularies.
Hi Dan,
Further work needs to be done on Learning Resource Type and a decision made as to the accessibility vocabularies.
Glad to hear things are moving along. If there's interest in getting the Schema.org representation of LRMI updated, we ought to make some noise in that direction in public. Would it just be updating the existing term definitions to point to where the values can be be found, or some more substantive update?

Hello Hugh, everyone.
Modelling a specific curriculum or subject would be out of scope
of the TG. The work of the task group is more about building the
metadata framework through which models of any curriculum for any
subject could be expressed. That said, I am sure that language
learning would be an excellent test case for any framework, and
you are welcome to join. Currently active discussions are on how
to express competency frameworks and controlled vocabularies
(value lists) for some of the existing terms. We have calls on the
third Thursday of each month, which are advertised through the TG
list.

Yes, time is usually 8:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada), which
would normally be 1700 in Central Europe (depending on daylight
saving). You'll get a reminder / full details through the TG list.
