Waramu
Waramu is an open-source repository for learning objects. It is licensed under BSD license. Waramu is developed using Java, it runs on Glassfish using Mysql database.
Short list of features:
- Supports IEEE LOM and Dublin Core metadata standards, but these schemas can be expanded/adapted or alternative metadata schemas can be added
- Interacts with other applications (e.g. Virtual Learning Environments) through SOAP Webservice
- Is connected to FIRE federation (European Learning Resource Exchange, see http://fire.eun.org), which makes it possible to search Learning Objects from Waramu via Calbrate LRE portal http://calibrate.eun.org
- Supports OAI-PMH protocol for metadata harvesting
Metadata Portal
Since Waramu itself does not have an UI, full-featured client is being developed. MetadataPortal is a portal where people can put their resources only, manage metadata, browse content that is in Waramu etc.
Demo
Waramu is a backend for MetadataPortal.
