Over the summer JWA funded work to create an OAI-ORE
reader/presentation tool using a Drupal website. The tools use flash
for the presentation, and save the presentations in the
Atom-compatible OAI-ORE format. The idea is that the various media
objects on our website can be remixed by educators (who are also able
to upload their own) in creating presentations. We're working on our
own public reference which we hope to have educators testing in a
couple of months. The documentation of that should make all of the
pieces make more sense.
In the meantime, since the modules are available at
drupal.org, we
have finally uploaded the initial implementation notes in a form that
may enable other people to look at these tools and play with/develop
them further. See
http://jwa.org/technology/unlock for tech details,
or
http://jwa.org/aboutjwa/programs/unlock about the "unlocking the
archive" project for which this open source software was developed.
Comments, etc., welcome.
