XIM is a JISC-funded mini-project that will produce a set of good practice models for implementation of XCRI-CAP, so that HEIs and others can use the outputs for their own implementations. The project will review all current implementations and projects relating to the XCRI information model, together with existing material about institutional courses information management systems, in order to draw up characteristics of institutions, to identify relevant problems and solutions. The main project outcome is to provide practical solutions for take up by HEIs and others.
The project aims to help HEIs and other organisations to implement XCRI-CAP driven services to facilitate the exchange and re-use of course advertising information.
The main project outcome is to promote the use of XCRI-CAP to organisations using, collecting and disseminating course advertising information, by providing practical business-driven solutions. The project will produce a series of generic business process templates for organisations to use by matching their own characteristics with those modelled, in order to identify common problems and solutions.
The project will investigate the usage of XCRI-CAP in HEIs and data collecting
organisations, building on earlier XCRI work, including the XCRI-CAP mini-projects,
APS' work for GMSA within the ioNW2 Project and initial work with Hotcourses,
Ufi and UCAS. The organisations' management of course advertising information
will be described through assessing their position on a variety of scales, for
example:
