Repository OSID Panel

Presentation Title

The OKI Repository OSID in Sakai: where can we go from here?

Presentation Summary

The Sakaibrary Project has implemented the OKI Repository OSID to interface commercial metasearch engines with Sakaibrary's re-purposed version of the "Twin Peaks" Repository OSID searching tool. How does this work lend itself to existing and future ideas of Repository OSID use within Sakai?

Presentation Description

The goals of this session are to:

• gather leaders working with (or with an interest in) Sakai and the Repository OSID.
• share a summary of the Sakaibrary Project's work implementing the Repository OSID and re-purposing "Twin Peaks" with the Sakai & Repository OSID community to lower barriers to interoperability.
• share existing and future ideas of Repository OSID use within Sakai (this will start with the panel and then be open to the audience).
• discuss possibilities for interoperability between ideas.

In the previous Sakai Conference, there was a rather large BOF and much e-mail discussion on the topic of Repositories in general in Sakai and the intersection of the Repository OSID. This session would act as a follow-up to that BOF/discussion, highlighting the Sakaibrary Project's work accessing "repositories" (metasearch engines) in Sakai through use of the Repository OSID.
