Message of thispresentation: Thisframework of concepts (‘FEC’) • forms the new basis forvocabulariesto tag & findlearningobjects • Provides a solution forexisting bottlenecks withmetadata: durablemetadata • Enables the next step towardscreating(semi-) automatic metadata Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
Metadata: the gasoline forour Kennisnet-services likeEdurep Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
Metadata: Achilles heel • Far toolittlemetadata • Goodquality (curriculum-relation) ? • Whoadds the metadata • Expensive! • Expertise! • Versioning / problemswithdurability Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
Examples of problemswithmetadata:1. unambiguousof concepts • Same concepts have in different vocabulaires a different name, cannotberelated taal Nederlandse taal ? The same? Nederlands Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
Examples of problemswithmetadata:2. Frequent (yearly) changes in vocabulaires (because of politics / law) • Oftenonly a few terms change • However the complete vocabulaire shouldbereplaced • mappingneeded • Every tool (search portal ándrepository) should change tothis new vocabulaire Term 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5” 5 6 Term 6 2009 2010 Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

Right now in The Nederlands • ‘Framework’ is controlledby EduStandaard • Open procedure, broad support • May 10th the Framework willbefilledwith the first sets (vocabulaires) • Kennisnet-services likeEdurepandMetaPluswillbe FEC-proofbefore the summer (‘FEC-based vocabulaires’ ES SIG wg 01-03-2012
Why is the Framework a smart idea? 1. The sameterms get 1 uniqueid taal Nederlandse taal Id. = 12skr56789 Nederlands 1 Unique, durableid 3 denotations
Why is the Framework a smart idea?2. Changes in vocabularies • Onlychangingtermsneedtobereplaced, not the complete vocabulary • Durabilityguaranteedbecause of the relation 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5” 5 6 6 2009 2010
Whyis the Framework a smart idea? • Framework in combinationwithLinked Data-technologyenables(semi-) automaticallyaddingmetadata Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
Besidesfindability of learningmaterialsthere are lots of applications • Enrichment of the curriculum • Accountability • Individuallearninglines • Continuousleerningpaths • Benchmarking Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
Impact voor u? • Vocabulaires blijven op dezelfde manier te gebruiken, zowel voor zoekportals als voor repositories • Nieuw: opgebouwd uit duurzame begrippen uit het OBK • Bestaande metadata blijft bruikbaar, Edurep ondersteunt de mappings • Flexibiliteit in het samenstellen van vocabulaires Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
In summary: • The Framework of educationalconcepts: • Offers solutionsforcurrent bottlenecks withmetadata • Enables semi-automaticallyaddingmetadata….. Andotherapplications • Important currentmetadata (Edurepetc) seamleslly fits tothis new way of working Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
