Subject: Interoperability between Information and Learning Environments -
Bridging the Gaps


Dear All,
the IMS Digital Libraries Special Interest Group and the and the Coalition
for Networked Information have released a public draft of a joint white
paper: "Interoperability between information and learning environments
- bridging the gaps".

The aim of the paper, stated in the introduction is:
"to explore potential interactions between information environments and
learning environments, with emphasis on work that needs to be done
involving standards, architectural modelling or interfaces in order to
permit these two worlds to co-exist and evolve more productively. The
emphasis here is on mapping the territory at a relatively superficial
level, to identify questions and issues and to make some suggestions about
what groups might most usefully undertake work in the various areas."
