Harmonizing Metadata for Exchange of FAIR Training Materials

This is an informal (unscheduled) FAIRsFAIR report commissioned by DCC and written by Phil Barker of CETIS LLP. The focus of the report is on options for deploying standards established for OER (Open Educational Resources).  It aims to help DCC and the FAIRsFAIR project consider options for creating a minimal metadata schema that may be used on a trial basis in their work to establish a shared catalogue, in collaboration with various providers of training materials. The context is a trial exchange of metadata between the FAIRsFAIR project and catalogues provided by related projects. These projects have shared interests in providing seamless discovery of learning resources across a number of catalogues that are currently provided by different communities involved in establishing the European Open Science Cloud. The contents will inform later work including FAIRsFAIR D6.3.
