There is a need for this type of integration in general, but the presented solution was a direct result of work done on the IMS Learning Design specification (LD). This specification relies heavily on other specifications and services. The presented architecture is described using the example of two of such services: CopperCore, an LD service and APIS, an IMS Question and Test Interoperability service. One of the design goals of the architecture was to minimize the intrusion for both the services as well as any legacy client that already uses these services.

A uniform and meaningful way to describe learning paths is needed to enable lifelong learners to choose suitable ways to build their portfolio. This paper identifies the requirements for a learning path specification drawing on a study of literature in the field of curriculum design and lifelong learning, and on recent initiatives aimed to enhance comparability and exchangeability of learning actions. Mapping these requirements on two existing specifications designed to describe learning programmes, XCRI and IMS-LD, leads to the conclusion that IMS-LD more broadly fulfils the requirements because it has a generic way to define completion of learning paths as well as an expression language to describe all kinds of conditions. A learning path model is presented identifying the main elements of a learnin...

This infrastructure aims to capture dispersed data from various heterogeneous data sources into a single ledger of immutable data, which allow the development of the so-called ‘smart services’. Four major requirements for this infrastructure are derived: scalability, availability, reliability, and flexibility. These requirements together with the sheer size of the ledger lead to an architecture that is horizontally scalable by using distributed data systems. Next, the Lambda and Kappa reference architectures are discussed as they both meet the requirements. However, the authors argue that the Kappa architecture is more appealing due to a reduced complexity by using a single technology stack. Finally, the resulting architecture is outlined in detail.

The wireframes are an operationalization of the domain model defined in workpackage 2 (see http://hdl.handle.net/1820/649) . The scope of the wireframes is the first release of the TENCompetence client, called antelope. This version is a revised version, to simplify the representation to the user. It differs in many aspects from the 1.0 version (selecting competence profiles first, stimulating reuse of profiles, competences and actions, simple rights management, limited number of wizards, etc.)
