PIOP goals

Belongs to Portfolio interoperability prototyping (PIOP)

=Portfolio Interoperability Prototyping Goals= In essence, we need:
 * to cross map information used and held by various e-portfolio systems to each other, and to the emerging structures;
 * to construct worked examples of representations of currently realistic portfolio contents;
 * to implement and test interoperability proposals that emerge from and are agreed by the group.

Deliverables

 * A straightforward and uncomplicated specification, ideally covering communication of firstly complete portfolio repository contents, secondly portfolio presentations, and thirdly disjointed portfolio items. The specification is to be sufficient for use by developers to implement interoperability, initially between the three initiative partners, but should not contain any inessential information or detail.
 * Outline descriptions of the human practices which use portfolio information, for each of the three partners.
 * Tables mapping the information used in each of the partner systems to this specification.
 * Realistic examples of portfolio information from each system, coded up in terms of the agreed specification.
 * Optionally: any definitions of (RESTian or other) web services, if any prototypes are tested.
