Absolutely outstanding presentation prepared by Brian Lamb and Alan Levine for EDUCAUSE (in the form of a wiki, so if you don't like it you can change it). The key message: "There's been too much focus on schemas and models for cataloging objects and precious little attention to building meaningful content. Thankfully, there are some signs of change." And the change is coming at the speed of a freight train, which will leave a lot of vendors in the dust if they're not careful. The article talks about using RSS to find objects, using track-back to record the context of use, ripping and mixing objects of various types, and what activity happening beyond objects. Read this presentation carefully, follow the links, and read them too.
