[All listings could potentially carry forward into COI as basis for structured reuse/repurpose decisions for ILE content development. For AIM I/II content, user could potentially browse directly to XML viewable version of content “chunks” published from Central Site instance and linked via GUID captured in results of PPP or CTTL search.]

[All listings could potentially carry forward into the Content Outline of Instruction as the basis for structured reuse/repurpose decisions for ILE content development. For AIM I/II content, the user could search Central Site AIM I/II instances via Web service API for search hits in Curriculum Outlines of Instruction. The user could then browse those hits to confirm applicability and link to JDTA Existing Interventions including GUID that would identify the AIM instance, CIN, Topic, and perhaps major DP.]

SLC/CSCS Repository PrototypeSLC/CSCS Repository Prototype

• Based on NAVSSES Philadelphia Contenta commercial content mgmt system (CMS)

• Supported by NETC N72 (John Wishall) and funded by NETC N7

• Sample SCORM content packages with S1000D Issue 4 structure and metadata

• Project kicked off at NAVSSES on 1 Mar; report presented 31 Jul 10

• Promising data management capabilities but extensive work required to customize Contenta CMS
