Untitled Talk about Cooperative Technology
Here's the abstract for Carl Jones' and my talk at the Small Tools/Big Ideas conference.
DSpace is designed for the long-term storage and management of digital assets. Stellar is designed for managing and presenting teaching materials while a course is being taught. Stellar Images will use DSpace assets to present images as course materials, playing off of the strengths of each tool.
This approach encourages innovation, reuse, and cooperation. DSpace will be one of many repositories feeding Stellar Images, and Stellar Images will be one of many windows into DSpace content.
We will talk about our plans to connect the two concerns, and the practical requirements of the faculty and students using these tools. We will also touch on the role of OKI's Repository OSID ("Open Services Interface Definition") as an interface between these tools.
What we need now is a title.
UPDATE: "Cooperative technology: Making institutional repositories and course management systems work together"
