  2. MACE-CourseID Working GroupLaunched July, 2003 http://middleware.internet2.edu/courseID/ • Major project goals • Propose a standard data element syntax to describe courses and hierarchical components of courses. • Propose a schema describing courses and course components…

  3. MACE-CourseID Working GroupLaunched July, 2003 2. Propose a schema describing courses and course components that: • conforms to IMS standards or requirements for course description • maps readily from existing applications that utilize course descriptions such as administrative data systems, instructional management systems,etc.

  4. MACE-CourseID Working GroupLaunched July, 2003 2. Propose a schema describing courses and course components that: • Is Shibboleth compliant, to further leverage Shibboleth developments to enable authorization based on course enrollment • Is valid for inter-institutional as well as international collaborations

  5. Course Object Structure D R A F TTom Barton et al.

  6. Single, globally unique identifierfor Course offering at section levelD R A F T, G. Agnew, K. Hazelton • The CourseID WG would name some agent to register as a namspace authority under the MACE urn, requesting that they be assigned the urn namespace urn:mace:courseid • Institutions would be encouraged to identify courses under their dns name, e.g. urn:mace:courseid:uchicago.edu…

  7. Single, globally unique identifierfor Course offering at section levelD R A F T, G. Agnew, K. Hazelton • Local course offering identifiers could be formed by combining whatever the institution uses as the short name in the timetable of course offerings with some indicator of the particular session in question as well as the primary section, e.g. urn:mace:courseid:uchicago.edu:Physics-101:fall-2004:section-01

  8. Single, globally unique identifierfor Course offering at section levelD R A F T, G. Agnew, K. Hazelton • Choices ahead on formation of course-offering-section identfiers • More prescriptive, standardized vs. more local autonomy, local preferences • Stipulate ISO start-end dates rather than idiomatic “fall-04” • More opaque vs. more suggestive components • :uchicago.edu:35433:A2334:3002-1 vs. earlier example • More self-contained vs. more reliant on associated metadata • :uchicago.edu:IPEDS-Physics-sequence-for-majors:first-semester-….section-lead:j-spencer01

  9. Discussion items • Scope of CourseID work • What to work on • What to work on first, second,… • What NOT to tackle (leave for others) • Scenarios offer guidance on scope question • Tug between mind sets of WG participants • requirements to support individual Shib pilots • requirements to support general IMS models • Related initiatives • Inter-group coordination
