Recommended JSON Binding PracticeWHY • Make it easier to build front-ends • On top of multiple back ends • Interoperability • This is an invitation to technical people for collaboration
Recommended JSON Binding PracticeWHAT • Element names • Identifiers • Date/Time & Period • LangString • VocabularyTerm • Vocabularies
Element names • Display_Name • display_name • display-name • displayName • Camel case • Starting with lower case
Identifier Scheme • UUID or GUID – Good to know • RFC 4122. See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt • Example f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6 12345678-1234-5678-1234-567812345678
Date/Time & Duration • Based on ISO 8601 • http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime or http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#isoformats • Example 29-07-2013T14:10:05.123Z YYYY[-MM[-DD[Thh[:mm[:ss[.s[TZD]]]]]]] where: YYYY = four-digit yearMM = two-digit monthDD = two-digit day of monthhh = two digits of hour (00 through 23)mm = two digits of minute (00 through 59)ss = two digits of second (00 through 59)s = one or more digits representing a decimal fraction of a secondTZD = time zone designator ("Z" for UTC or +hh:mm or -hh:mm) • Example Duration: P1Y3M5DT7H10M3.3S

Enhancing the learning content through the aggregation of social data. GRNET and Ariadne Nikos Manolis
Open Discovery Space • A large-scale pilot project that tries to increase the adoption of digital learning resources by European schools • An infrastructure to allow existing learning portals and repositories to be connected
Social Data types • Ratings • Tags • Comments • Bookmarks • Sharings
The need for aggregating • An important information source to provide additional and more personalized access to learning objects • Provide the opportunity to filter and recommend tailored information to a target user based on their social data profile
Developing a Social Data Management Layer • Method: • A questionnaire was circulated among data providers • Cross analysis of the questionnaire results • Analysis of the various social data exposure protocols and interfaces • Social Data schema definition (existing efforts from Organic Edunet, LRE and NSDL)
Technological Background • An extended version of Ariadne Harvester is used for harvesting social data • Internal validation mechanism according to the Social Data schema validation • An extended version of Ariadne Repository is used for already harvested social data management • OAI-PMH endpoint for social data exposure • Social Data are also exposed in JSON format using an extended version of the built-in RESTP API
Next Steps • Harvest from more providers • Expose social data as Linked Data. • Connect LO Metadata with harvested Social Data. • Integrate harvested social data to Portal. • Recommender subsystem. • Search subsystem.
