Was interested to hear of the experiences of metadata schema related to validations and course descriptions from:
- Dr. Mark Stubbs = MMU http://www.xcri.org/Welcome.html
- C. Frost & J. Hughes = Bolton Uni
They had experience of developing and using the XCRI schema for course descriptions. This appears to be a more appropriate schema for this project (I hope) - I will investigate further.
Further to this - Staffs had it's own project associated with XCRI = http://www.staffs.ac.uk/xcri/
UPDATE
Spoke to project lead Peter Moss associated with staffsXCRI project. Main thrust of feedback was the difficult nature of the task. Insofar that the data is simply not collected in a way as to be extracted for XCRI - too much complexity to represent.
Doesn't bode well for DIVAS - however it was noted that the metadata being collected for DIVAS is at QA Validation, therefore, there could be a new precedence for collecting data against set elements at the validation stage. This in turn could be available for re-purposing for course description purposes.
