Proceedings of International Workshop in Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, TENCompetence Conference. March 30th-31st, Sofia, Bulgaria: TENCompetence. Retrieved June 30th, 2006, from http://dspace.learningnetworks.orgThis article describes a framework for the integration of e-learning services. There is a need for this type of integration in general, but the presented solution was a direct result of work done on the IMS Learning Design specification (LD). This specification relies heavily on other specifications and ser-vices. The presented architecture is described using the example of two of such services: CopperCore, an LD service and APIS, an IMS Question and Test Interoperability service. One of the design goals of the architecture was to minimize the intrusion for both the services as well as any legacy client that already uses these services.This work has been sponsored by the EU project TENCompetenc
