Cataloging White Papers

Learning Resource Catalogue Design of the Universal Brokerage Platform

Overview This paper illustrates how the issue of providing user-friendly access-mechanism to learning resources has been addressed by UNIVERSAL, an open, pan-European brokerage platform for learning resources. The focus is devoted to catalogue design; its creation, development, structure and organization. More attention is also given to the automated categorization of learning resources within the category tree, creation and maintenance of the catalogue hierarchy. The described approach enables gradual automation of the categorization process: from manual to semi-automated and finally to a fully automated categorization process.
