Fostering Reuse and Interoperability for the NSDL

该服务项目正在开发一套“最佳实践”文档和资源，以促进NSDL产品的可重用性和互操作性。使NSDL内容更易于在多个环境中使用(重复使用)，并使其更能被通用创作工具和交付环境使用(互操作性)，从而增加其影响和价值。但可重用、可互操作的内容具有与传统Web内容不同的设计要求。该项目正在综合和传播在这一领域建立起来的研究和实践机构，以促进其应用。主要目标包括：创建和传播关于设计可重用内容和使用现有工具的一般NSDL指南和推荐做法；创建和传播这些指南和做法的专门版本，以适应ENC、Merlot和MathDL用户社区所使用的方法和面临的问题；举办关于内容重用和互操作性的研讨会；以及就集合如何在搜索中暴露可重用内容提出建议。该项目产生的所有资源都适用于整个教育界。

This Services project is developing a suite of "best practices" documents and resources to foster reusability and interoperability of NSDL holdings. Making NSDL content easier to use in multiple settings (reuse) and more capable of being used by common authoring tools and delivery environments (interoperability), increases its impact and value. But reusable, interoperable content has different design requirements than traditional Web content. This project is synthesizing and disseminating the body of research and practice that has built up in this domain in order to foster its application. Major objectives include: creating and disseminating general NSDL guidelines and recommended practices for designing reusable content and using existing tools to do so; creating and disseminating specialized versions of these guidelines and practices tailored to the methods used and issues faced by the ENC, MERLOT and MathDL user communities; conducting workshops on content reuse and interoperability; and developing recommendations for how collections can expose reusable content in searches. All resources produced by this project are applicable to the entire educational community.
