It wasn’t a typo, I was using ‘meshup’ pretty much as Kingsley Idehen coined it: http://www.openlinksw.com/dataspace/kidehen@openlinksw.com/weblog/kidehen@openlinksw.com%27s%20BLOG%20%5B127%5D/1395

I can see the potential for confusion with other meshup coinages, though…

If it wasn’t a typing slip, try Googling both, and consulting Wikipedia on the former, for a better understanding.

Thanks for the link to the Dynamic Learning Maps project- it does look like they’re doing the whole thing properly with nice interfaces humans can use.

As to getting people to use machine readable curricula, you need to have those curricula first. For national curricula like the English or the new Scottish one, organisations like Becta or LTScotland can hire a proper information scientist and have them to do it once. For universities, I’m not so sure- I do know that ASN have a cracking editor for their vocab. Perhaps some JISC Curriculum Design projects could have a go at using something like that for their institutions?

As to data consistency and clean up, I can’t wait for the freebase gridworks tool to come out.

As they say, one small step for Wilbert Kraan . . .

Seriously though, if we were to try and get some more examples of this how can we encourage people to start using ASN (or something similar that takes a linked data approach)? How can we show that the benefits outweigh the initial time in creating linkable data sets?

I’m really thinking of the current JISC Design and Delivery projects. The Dynamic Learning Maps project (http://learning-maps.ncl.ac.uk/) is doing some really interesting work around visualizing the curriculum and linking also sorts of learning resources and outcomes, but they are still facing problems with consistency of data coming from University, professional bodies etc.
