  1. Update on IMS Enterprise Services v2 and Sakai Linda Feng & Michael Feldstein Oracle Academic Enterprise Solutions IMS ES v2 Working Group

  2. This presentation is for you if… • You are implementing or improving your SIS/LMS integration • You are a Peoplesoft customer • You are developing an Identity or Grading service for any part of Sakai • You want a window into how the IMS standards process works

  3. Agenda • Background/ Goals • Current Status • Information Model • Services • Profiles and Conformance • Oracle’s Use of IMS ES v2

  4. Background/Goals for IMS ES v2 • IMS Enterprise v1: public release 2002 • IMS Enterprise Services v1.1: public release 2004 • V1 specs were too generic – resulted in non standard integrations • Needed more defined structure for Course Management • Wanted more granular Outcomes model • Wanted to harmonize Person definition with IMS Learner Information Profile (IMS LIP)

  5. Customer Needs • Near real time integration • Course to course site mapping (multi-section and cross-listed courses) • Final grade reporting • Support for adjunct solutions (e.g., course evaluations, external wikis, etc.) • Lower and more controlled integration costs

  6. Goals for IMS ES v2 • Relationships between courses/sections • Enhanced Grade/Outcome model • Better handling for multi-sectioned and cross-listed • Increased adoption by SIS and LMS vendors (Enterprise Alliance) • Room for growth into other integration use cases

  7. ES v2 Current Status • Working group chartered earlier this year - Jan 2007 • Co-Chairs, Linda Feng (Oracle) and Bill Lee (D2L) • Participants: Oracle, D2L, Informs, Ohio State, U. of Wisc., Angel, Bb, Moodle, JISC/CETIS (UK), DEST (AU) • Base documents issued internally for review Nov 2007 • Target CM/DN release: March 2008 • Target Public Draft release: December 2008 • Target Public Final release: November 2009

  8. Deliverables • Use Cases • Specification Overview • Information Model • Conformance Profile(s) • Best Practices & Implementation Guide • WSDL Binding • LDAP Binding - NEW • UML XMI Files • Sample Code • Demonstration of Interoperability

  9. Information Model • Person • Course Management • Course Template • Course Offering • Course Section • Section Association • Group • Membership • Outcome

  10. Enterprise v2 Information Model: Courses and Enrollment Group Course Template Course Offering Membership Person Section Association Course Section

  11. Enterprise v2 Information Model: Outcomes Group Course Template Course Offering Line Item Section Association Course Section Result Person

  12. Services • Read(singular) • Reads(plural) • ReadFromSavePoint • Create • Update • Replace • Delete • Discover

  13. Profiles & Conformance • Ability to add constraints to base specification • Ability to define specific vocabulary for use in specification • Conformance will be tested against profile

  14. SAIP v1 • Oracle has chosen to implement IMS ES v2 for SAIP using Sakai as a reference (SAKORA Project) • Focuses on mission critical integration of SIS and LMS • Web services provide flexible, comprehensive batch and real time integration • Online functionality for easy, flexible default and ad hoc scoping of courses and course to course site mapping • Inbound Final Grades/Outcomes • LDAP Binding to support provisioning to non-services based solutions

  15. Sakai Touchpoints • CM API • User provider • Gradebook • Profile tool? • Others?
