The more I think about it - I think we really must fit in with (ie
complement) SAKAI if we are to stand any chance of being here for a long
time.

| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
|=20
| MIT O.K.I. and IMS/GLC Collaborate to Evolve Open Service Interface
| Definitions
|=20
| Cambridge, MA, Tuesday, 12 April 2005.  Today the IMS Global Learning
| Consortium (IMS/GLC) and MIT's Open Knowledge Initiative (O.K.I.) =
launched
| a
| collaborative change process for the next release of the Open Service
| Interface Definitions (OSIDs).   This process will result in the third
| major
| release of the OSID specifications scheduled for later this year.
|=20
| The OSIDs define application programming interface specifications for
| service-oriented systems that are being adopted by a number of =
commercial
| and open source eLearning software products. Several IMS/GLC members,
| including SUN, Microsoft, Giunti Labs, University of Michigan, MIT, =
and
| Cisco Systems, have asked whether the O.K.I's Open Service Interface
| Definitions (OSIDs) can be made available as part of the IMS/GLC suite =
of
| eLearning interoperability specifications. The collaboration between =
the
| O.
| K. I. and IMS/GLC marks the transition of the OSID maintenance and
| dissemination process, a necessary first step in considering adoption =
of
| the
| specifications by the Consortium.
|=20
| As part of this effort, O.K.I. and IMS/GLC will be distributing the =
draft
| XML models for OSIDs (XOSID) via the IMS member and public websites. =
The
| Java language bindings of the OSIDs will also be distributed via the =
IMS
| website. PHP bindings also exist, and work is progressing on C# and
| Objective C bindings which will be distributed when available.
|=20
| IMS/GLC has created a public forum to support the maintenance process =
for
| the OSIDs, located at  <http://www.imsglobalproject.org/>
| http://www.imsglobal.org (look in the Quick Links section for
| "Specification
| Problem and Suggestion Reporting").   A document describing the =
process
| can
| be found on the IMS/GLC site and also at the O.K.I. project site,
| <http://www.okiproject.org/> http://www.okiproject.org    For more
| information please contact oki...@mi...
|=20
| About the IMS Global Learning Consortium:
|=20
| The IMS Global Learning Consortium promotes the development and =
delivery
| of
| interoperable learning technology. IMS/GLC specifications and related
| publications are made available to the public at no charge from
| www.imsglobal.org. To join IMS/GLC and participate in the development =
of
| e-Learning specifications and support their implementation and use
| world-wide, visit  <http://www.imsglobal.org/membership.html>
| http://www.imsglobal.org/membership.html.
|=20
| About the Open Knowledge Initiative:
|=20
| The Open Knowledge Initiative (O.K.I.), a program at the Massachusetts
| Institute of Technology, develops specifications that describe how the
| components of an educational software environment communicate with =
each
| other and with other enterprise systems. O.K.I. specifications address
| broad
| interoperability agreements that allow for adaptation and further
| specification by communities of practice. In this way, O.K.I. seeks to
| open
| new markets for educational tools and content.
|=20
| The O.K.I. team at MIT continues to provide architectural and =
technical
| leadership for software initiatives in higher education, among =
industry
| affiliates, and through national and international organizations such =
as
| the
| IMS Global Learning Consortium. This work helps ensure that the next
| generation of e-learning software will integrate seamlessly with the
| educational enterprise, and it establishes O.K.I. as a global leader =
in
| behavioral specifications for educational technology interoperability.
