Data transfer and data look-up • ePF4LL started with data transfer and moved on to data look-up via web services within the Framework • It is exploring the idea of the ‘thin’ ePF application, interacting with ePF-enabled services • Feasibility of ePF for LLL depends partly on reusability of technology – patterns: identifying analogous processes and common web services
Synergies • RIPPLL Reference Model • Real world testbed • Scenarios and use cases • Reference Model RIPPLL • Web services approach • Shibboleth: distributed access to data = far more workable model
ePortfolio DevelopmentsNottingham University (and partners) • 2. Reference Model: eP4LL (e-portfolio for Lifelong Learning) • More e-portfolio use cases with methodology • Definition of common services(the generic software that links data and software together such as an orchestration service) • Contributions to technical standards development • Source of expertise for government and its agencies.
Technical Achievements • Use of LEAP • Use of XSLT (extensible style sheet language transform) • Web service in receivers domain School College Web Service Parser Database ePassportfolio Data • Validation of Shibboleth
