My own interest in this is in InLOC, and last summer I did draft a page on the relationship between InLOC and LRMI.

I’m hoping to find the time to contribute to the discussion on the LRMI list, but just to give a hint of my contribution, InLOC is exactly designed to give a clear formal structured representation for particular types of educational frameworks. I would look forward to LRMI including optional URLs for the framework itself and the alignment type, rather than only text fields.

Comment on ebooks 2013 by Chris King http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/philb/2013/05/13/ebooks-2013/#comment-671 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 14:17:13 +0000 http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/philb/?p=828#comment-671 As someone studying applied linguistics on the MA level, I’ve had the chance to see how cumbersome it is to photocopy all the material needed for the courses, even if it is written by the lecturer him/herself and no copyright protection applies. Getting access to those resources in a digital format that I could use on my notebook, my kindle and my smartphone, not to mention to search and annotate it on the go would be a tremendous help.
So I would totally push the liberalization of e-material publishing.
Thanks for the report, by the way, it was a great read.

Comment on Will using schema.org metadata improve my Google rank? by Chris http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/philb/2012/05/25/will-using-schemaorg-metadata-improve-my-google-rank/#comment-604 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:07:37 +0000 http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/philb/?p=611#comment-604 I think it’s possible that one of the reasons for adoption of schema.org markups could be speed of delivery of results.

Looking to the long-term, Google are trying to return more relevant results to speech-oriented searches on mobile devices. With the sheer number of new websites produced each day, this must place an enormous strain on Google servers to hunt through their cached records.

Instead of this, if users suggests to Googlebot through microdata what each individual piece of data is about, then Google could store this separately on another layer of servers which could instantly produce exact results to give mobile users quickly and then go off and search their cache servers for ‘evidence’ to support it for the organic search results.

What do you think?
