 <description xml:lang="en"><h4>Background / Context </h4>
<p>People use a wide range of information sources and publishing channels, 
with a wide range of interfaces. Managing all these different resources 
can present difficulties to an individual. Learners can face many 
challenges, with institutions requiring them to use certain technologies 
alongside their own personal preferences, this coupled with trust issues, 
prevent many learners from engaging in collaborative learning. The 
MeAggregator project was inspired as a solution to problems that we saw 
facing our educational community. </p>
<h4>Aims and Objectives </h4>
<p>The aim of this project is to develop an open source application that 
can be web based or on the desktop, that will serve as a Me Aggregator. 
The Me Aggregator will configure the total set of technologies that an 
individual is using at a specific point of time, on a flexible and modular 
basis. </p>
<p><strong>The specific objectives are to</strong>: </p>
<ul>
<li>Produce an aggregator framework, on which to base modular development 
</li><li>Provide a tool for students and staff to manage their online 
communities and channels, through advanced use of content aggregation 
technologies such as RSS and others 
</li><li>Provide seamless access to academic content in institutionally-
owned systems 

</li><li>Provide a new space in which to create academic-related content, 
which can subsequently be remixed with their personal content in any way 
they wish 
</li><li>Provide access to a new source of academic online communities 
that will foster links across disparate groups of students and staff who 
may not normally meet, yet share similar interests 
</li><li>Provide a large social network of students and staff through 
which the dissemination of ideas can more easily flow </li></ul>
<h4>Project Methodology </h4>
<p>The approach taken will be based on gathering user practice details 
through surveys and focus groups.&amp; Priorities for development will be 
determined against need and risk. Prototyping will be used to ensure a 
close fit of the product to user requirements. </p>
<h4>Implications/ Deliverables </h4>
<ul>
<li>Use-case portfolio 
</li><li>Me-Aggregator framework 
</li><li>Prototypes to be initially used within local institution at 
various scales. 
</li><li>Evaluation reports 

</li><li>Open source application and documentation 
</li><li>Training materials 
</li><li>Address the needs of the educational community with regard to 
their emergent trust networks, collaborative learning, social networking 
and other personal learning landscape issues. </li></ul>
<h6>Stakeholders </h6>
<ul>
<li>Students on full and part time courses, undergraduate and postgraduate 
</li><li>Other learners 
</li><li>Staff 
</li><li>Alumni 
</li><li>Careers Staff 
</li><li>Existing service providers 
</li><li>Larger community </li></ul>

HTML in RDF should be bracketed by <![CDATA[ <!-- HTML TEXT HERE --> ]]>

It is not uncommon for people to simply paste HTML into XML in this way, we 
shuld
therefore have RDFUtils check to ensure that data is bracketed where 
appropriate.

In the meantime, simply bracket the code with <![CDATA[ sections.

BUT...

The code running on the demo server at present appears to strip such content 
when it
is submitted. I'm increasing the priority of this issue since even correctly 
formed
RDF/XML will fail.

I just committed a fix for this issue, it will be live on the test server 
within  the
next few days.
