    Learning and teaching resource are available on the Web - both in terms of digital learning content and people resources (e.g. other learners, experts, tutors). They can be used to facilitate teaching and learning tasks. The remaining challenge is to develop, deploy and evaluate Social information retrieval (SIR) methods, techniques and systems that provide learners and teachers with guidance in potentially overwhelming variety of choices. The aim of the SIRTEL’09 workshop is to look onward beyond recent achievements to discuss specific topics, emerging research issues, new trends and endeavors in SIR for TEL. The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to present, and more importantly, to discuss the current status of research in SIR and TEL and its implications for science and teaching

    "BURO Case Study" In "Making the Repository Count: lessons from successful implementation"

    Get PDF
    Matt Holland and Tim Denning continue the research theme and consider the importance of IRs in support of research, focussing on three areas; how the IR fits with the university organisation; how to promote the use of the IR to end users and contributors; and how to secure long term benefits for the broadest range of stakeholders. They incorporate two case studies into the discussion, and include a description of the implementation of Bournemouth University Research Online (BURO). With contributions from Emma Crowley, BURO Manager

    Towards a Soft Evaluation and Refinement of Tagging in Digital Humanities

    Get PDF
    In this paper we estimate the soundness of tagging in digital repositories within the field of Digital Humanities by studying the (semantic) conceptual structure behind the folksnonomy. The use of association rules associated to this conceptual structure (Stem and Luxenburger basis) allows to faithfully (from a semantic point of view) complete the tagging (or suggest such a completion).Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2013-41086-PJunta de Andalucía TIC-606

    MACE: Deliverable 5.5 - Integration of Competence Metadata

    Get PDF
    The MACE infrastructure is a highly distributed system, currently being developed by several consortium partners at different locations and in principle open to everyone. The infrastructure is and will be developed with the interests of the following groups in mind: - the content providers, connecting their repository to MACE in order to make their contents more accessible, - the content consumers, in different situations who use MACE to get better results for their searches, and - the technical developers, creating new widgets and solutions on top of the existing infrastructure. For all these groups, good programming interfaces to MACE are an important concern. By defining clear, stable and easy-to-use application programming interfaces, MACE enables: - the content providers, to connect to MACE by implementing a Harvesting and a DirectLink interface, - the content consumers, to search for and acquire contents on the MACE portal, also by using provided compact, embeddable interface components (so–called ”widgets”) at other sites, - the technical developers, to create new solutions and widgets by supporting them with defined and documented web services, that allow access to the metadata collected
