Background
Previous projects in the Humanities at MIT either:- stored data in proprietary formats, or- created flat web pages
Common problem:- Media and metadata could not be extracted and reused
Missing resources:- to rebuild projects- to support similar approaches in different projects
Dr. Kurt Fendt, Comparative Media Studies, MIT <[email protected]>
Vision
- Separate content, presentation, and logic
- Leverage existing components for new projects
- Enable easy creation of new media projects
- Provide upload and annotation mechanisms
- Allow users at different institutions to collaborate
- Build a system in which components can be exchanged
- Offer flexible ways for content creation and presentation

Open StandardsThe MetaMedia framework stores metadata in standard markup formats, such as Dublin Core and Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).
Separation of Content and PresentationStoring markup in standard formats allows MetaMedia to separate media content and its presentation cleanly
and simply.
Extending Project LifecyclesSeparating content and presentation extends each project’s lifetime, as markup can be output in XML and migrated to new software when necessary.
Dr. Kurt Fendt, Comparative Media Studies, MIT <[email protected]>
User CollaborationIntegrated permissions management allows users to add to and share materials in the repository, encouraging constructivist models of learning and research.
Exchanging ContentSupporting open markup standards allows related groups in Humanities Computing to exchange media and annotations, thus fostering academic collaboration within and across institutions.
Room to GrowStoring content in rich markup formats form the start allows projects to grow into more sophisticated functionality without starting from scratch.
Dr. Kurt Fendt, Comparative Media Studies, MIT <[email protected]>
Multimedia MarkupMultimedia markup standards allow users to annotate images, audio, and video, making MetaMedia a cross-media repository platform.

Design Considerations
- Serve content to the web and ‘fat clients’ (Java applications)
- Content to be exportable and importable in standard markup
formats
- Problem: semi-structured vs. structured content
- XML Markup formats:• Dublin core: standard bibliographic data• TEI: electronic representation of printed documents• DocBook: generic electronic books• MPEG-7: markup for images and video• RDF/Annotea: ‘post-it’ type notes• IMS/SCORM: learning objects
- Document-centric model
- Collaboration and transactionality

The Open Knowledge Initiative™ (OKI) is defining an open and extensible architecture for learning technology specifically targeted to the needs of the higher education community.OKI provides detailed specifications for interfaces among components of a learning management environment, and open source examples of how these interfaces work.The OKI architecture is intended to be used both by commercial product vendors and by higher education product developers.It provides a stable, scalable base that supports the flexibility needed by higher education as learning technology is increasingly integrated into the education process.

DSpace is an open source software platform that enables institutions to:
• capture and describe digital works using a submission workflow module• distribute an institution's digital works over the web through a search and retrieval system• preserve digital works over the long term

OCW is a large-scale, Web-based electronic publishing initiative at MIT. Its goals are to:
• Provide free, searchable, coherent access to MIT's course materials for educators in the non-profit sector, students, and individual learners around the world.
• Create an efficient, standards-based model that other universities may emulate to publish their own course materials.
