OU content is difficult to fit in categories that suit more traditional universities, so we’re a bit of a square peg in a round hole. We’re going to need to monitor the user expectation vs reality gap but we hope users will find the content useful, even if it’s not quite what they expect if they have seen ‘lectures’ and ‘course notes’ everywhere else. On the process, its low tech. We’re working in a spreadsheet so we have the basis of something we can share, but nothing more sophisticated than that at the moment. We need to engage the Faculties, so we are asking Open Media Fellows to check the selection of materials, which we’re collating via search and conversations. We could perhaps generate more relevant searches using OU datasets, which we have for some Open Media, but not all (work in progress). @barnstormed will be in touch with more on the detail…

If you look in certain YouTube vid descriptions you will see that some carry a tag in the format of ou_. Mathieu’s YouTube to RDF script http://code.google.com/p/luceroproject/wiki/Youtube2RDF grabs this and it informs the representation on data.open.ac.uk e.g. http://data.open.ac.uk/page/youtube/E8AEFC479EBFA45B/PLVKov4ThQNq5vt1eTR-HnnCWo9iCx3OGa
