Content packaging/dis-aggregation will likely be a focal point of Content Managements Services workgroup(s). Work progress will require rudimentary (unpolished) implementations of such services, primarily for QA, and will also be available for the edification of those in the Content Management development efforts.
Workgroup members
Thomas Amsler, UC Davis; Jon Gorrono, UC Davis
Method of participation*
The group membership is open. Based on a very informal survey with respect to interest and experience, we expect coding participation from
3-5 institutions: about 5-7 programmers. Interest to participate has been forwarded by UC-Davis, Toronto, UW-Madison, and the Pachyderm Project
(NMC-SF MOMA).
Anticipated Membership Growth
The goals that can be gained from a successful implementation and the impact on the more general SAKAI interests in content storage, delivery, aggregation, and sequencing could be significant. Initially < 20 people, the group may grow significantly or evolve or splinter into others towards the end of public beta rounds.
Milestones and durations
Phase 1: Target Date: 12/01/2005 - ADL Sample RTE code UML documentation, SAKAI code UML documentation, overlap and remainder
analysis, OKI DR (SCORM) example analysis, Requirements Gathering, Seq. Service API Proposal, UI pilot. If we get more than the current commitment from UCD of 1 FTE (across 2 programmers), we might be able to get all that done.
Phase 2: May 2005
Integrate into fixed and evolving specifications for API's (AuthN, AuthZ, Content Services, Sequencing, etc).
Version 1.0 - June 2005
Resources required to fulfill the workgroup's charter
If we get more than the current commitment from UCD of 1 FTE (across 2 programmers), we will not have to reconsider the current ambitious pace of Phase 1.
