PIOP 3

Belongs to Portfolio interoperability projects.

Funded by the JISC, (their page here) managed by Lisa Gray of JISC, co-ordinated by Simon Grant of CETIS

Participants
To aid communication we would like everyone to have their own PIOP project page listing: contact details; project outline and timetable; specific deliverables; and links to documentation and materials including a link to a version of your system for others to try out along with any instructions needed on how to get an account. You can have that either here or on your own web site, with just a link here.

Other unfunded partners are welcome to ask to join, and to have a page listed here.

Specification
The version we are working on for PIOP 3 is now at http://wiki.leapspecs.org/2A/specification. The specification agreed March 2009 is still held at 2009-03/Leap2A specification.

Meetings
The first meeting for the PIOP 3 projects was in Derby on February 23rd.

The second, final face-to-face meeting was on 15 July 2010.

We are also holding some remote meetings: sign up for them here.

Work
New partners signed up to providing (see deliverables listed in Appendix A of the ITT):
 * A test account, on the target system, by 1st March 2010;
 * Any relevant documentation given to learners using the system, by 1st March 2010;
 * A glossary, by 1st March 2010;
 * A table mapping information fields. The initial table to be submitted by 1st March 2010 and the final version agreed by 2nd April 2010.
 * An account of the scenarios in which learners and other practitioners typically use the target system.
 * Documentation of the approach taken to export.
 * Documentation of the approach taken to import.
 * Documentation of the success or failure of meaningful import from other systems.
 * A report or case study that includes:
 * discussion of the organisational and technical issues encountered during the course of the project
 * evaluation of and feedback on the LEAP2A specification, including an evaluation of its usability in the context of the target system, with identification of any problem areas and suggestions for improvements, including resource/time implications as a guide for other developers implementing the specification
 * recommendations to JISC on further desirable development activity

And the longer-established partners agreed to deliver
 * Any additional deliverables as agreed with individual mini-projects.

The main outcome, however, was your implementation of export and import to the current Leap2A spec. For anyone to have done this, we all need to have agreed on what we are going to do about developments listed on the developments page. Please look!

Governance
During the lifetime of these projects, we need to work on the topic of Leap2 governance.
