Thanks for the pointer to the condensed paper. (That full-length one was a workout.)

We're looking at building tools to make it easier for non-geeks to a) define mspaces for whatever collection of info they want b) publish their data to be discovered by an existing mspace model. This means that groups could publish their lesson plans with light-weight metadata, and be picked up by an mspace browser driven by the lesson plan model. We're looking at using a blog-like model of pings/trackbacks to alert an mspace that data associated with a particular part of the space is new or has been updated. There's a 10 page paper with a section on how this will work at <a>http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/10710/</a> Please give us a shout if you'd like to be alerted of mspace updates.

What will become the standard? Is there a metadata model for K-12 educators to work from?

I downloaded mSpace. It doesn't look *too* difficult to install, but I didn't really have time to get into it. If you get it running before I do I have some RDF data you can put into it and see what happens. When we get around to building this stuff into SchoolTool, starting in a couple months, it'll be a very sem webby system itself.
