Utdanning.no
• Owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research.
• The website is a national common gateway that provides easy access to everything you need to know about education.
• Utdanning.no has no governing authority but is coordinating The Norwegian Cooperation of Websites in the Educational sector (SANU).
• Utdanning.no website is all designed on open source software.
Service-oriented strategy
“Everything you need to know about education in on place.”
• This is solved with technology and not editorial tasks. – Data harvesting instead of editorial tasks (“cut
& paste”)
• We consider ourselves a service provider where our webpage is one of many services.
Utdanning.no
• The website is mainly a metadata portal where the key services that we offer are: – A national centralised repository with Course
descriptions of “all” educations in Norway (course description metadata). CDM
– A national centralised repository of learning object metadata.
– A framework for learning content publishing (new!).
Learning object repository
• Metadata collection harvested from minor collections.
• Norwegian biggest repository for educational digital content. (5500 resources)
• The number of resources and the number of users are increasing steadily. – Since last summer we have doubled the number
of resources and have 4 times as many users.
Strategic process
“Marketplace for commercial and non-commercial producers”
1. Harvest small governmental websites. (ims LOM)2. Fine tune routines for import / export. (API)3. Offer services to 3 part organisations. (Gdata, SRW/SRU, OAI-
PMH )4. Offer framework for Learning content publishing. (CMS)5. Offer harvesting from commercial producers. (ims LOM)6. Offer harvesting mechanism for content and metadata harvesting.
(Atom publishing server. Files + metadata)7. Offer harvesting from a collection of resources for people with
disabilities.

To do

behind the portal? What technology to we use?
• http://bak.utdanning.no instead of
• http://www.utdanning.no
Technology
• Fedora Repository software.
• FEZ administration interface.
• Drupal end user interface. (Todo)
• Solr (Lucene) search engine. (Todo)
• Format: HTML, LOM, DC, RSS
• API: OAI-PMH, SRW, Gdata
• Filtered Harvest: Gdata + OAI-PMH
Publishing framework
• Utdanning.no offers this as service for external editorial groups.
• Utdanning.no does not want any editorial responsibility. • By now it is offered to a cooperation of local governments.
They use it for three different subjects at high school. • Their ambition is to make the content so comprehensive
that it could replace the traditional book.• The content is partly produced by teachers and partly
bought from publishing companies. • Fag.utdanning.no
