1 Publication Feeds format introduction

1.1 Overview

Publication feeds are RSS 1.0 feeds intended for a lightweight exchange of publication metadata. The feeds are largely based on the idea of BuRST (Mika, 2005). To include all possible metadata, RSS was enhanced with elements from the Semantic Web for Research Communities (SWRC) and Dublin core (DC) ontologies. Modifications were applied where the original format was outdated or underspecified.

        <swrc:abstract>Work-integrated learning (WIL) poses unique challenges for user model design: on the one hand
        users’ knowledge levels need to be determined based on their work activities – testing is not a
        viable option; on the other hand users do interact with a multitude of different work applications –
        there is no central learning system. This contribution introduces a user model and corres-ponding services
        (based on SOA) geared to enable unobtrusive adaptability within WIL environments. Our hybrid user model
        services interpret usage data in the context of enterprise models (semantic approaches) and utilize heuristics
        (scruffy approaches) in order to determine knowledge levels, identify subject matter experts, etc. We give an
        overview of different types of user model ser-vices (logging, production, inference, control), provide a
        reference implementation within the APOSDLE project, and discuss early evaluation results.</swrc:abstract>
