Info

GEM uses an object based database which can be dynamically updated over the Internet. The core database is an SQL relational database with an overlying object based design. GEM only uses public domain software as a basic requirement is that another party can host a GEM Server without incurring licensing costs. The GEM data model is based on metadata. A review of existing systems like IMS (1) , the ARIADNE(2) project and IEEE standards efforts(3) has recently been made. As a result the GEM data model has now been aligned with these systems. A two way transfer of metadata between either system is now possible. The following functionality is currently available. • Free and public access to Internet users to search and locate services and data. This access is called anonymous access and will require no log in. • Full support for four languages is offered – English, French, Italian and German. All four user interfaces are available including keyword searching. Users can save a language preference. • Possibility for any user or organisation to register on GEM. Once registered each user can enter or upload new information. Each user has a password which can be changed on-line. • Each user has a personal Web “visiting card” whose information can be updated by the user online. Each organisation has a Web presentation space to present the organisation and to provide contact and commercial information. • Organisations will be categorised into commercial, governmental, college, schools etc. Each organisation can advertise products and services in GEM. The adverts can be in any of the four languages supported by GEM. • Users and organisations can announce meetings, conferences etc. Those events which fall on specific dates will appear automatically in a Calendar. The Calendar can be browsed by all users. • Users and organisations will be able to upload “binary data”. This can be an audio clip an image, an MPEG animation etc. Therefore in addition to the metadata the database can hold the media itself. Searching • Users are able to search for products by free text entry. This can be fielded search on a given attribute or a general free text search over all fields. It will be investigated if an automatic translation of the search query so as to search across multiple languages is feasible. • Users are able to search for products using controlled structured keywords. The relevant attributes and keywords are defined in later in the paper. Numbers of entries are generated automatically. Browsing • Users can browse around the database using a Yahoo style interface. The software automatically classifies entries according to valid types and keywords. A refinement of choices can be made by selecting a particular attribute value. • Users can browse for events in the calendar Future Developments GEM is currently available in pilot operations at http://gem.jrc.it. New functionality is planned and will be added over the next year. The hosting of course material through a structured course database is under design. Each course can be updated by the author/maintainer, and a database of registered students will be available to the maintainer. Discussion groups, bulletin boards and virtual meetings are in preparation. Linkage to other systems through search interfaces based on Z39.50 are planned, as well as through standard http interfaces. The user interface will be reviewed and updated in the light of user feedback, and new requirements of the European Commission.

However, the implementation of such programmes vary widely from campus to campus. This session will bring together representatives from five campuses, the University of Hong Kong, the National University of Singapore, and three U.S. institutions - Seton Hall University, Sonoma State University, and Wake Forest University - to describe and discuss how each is providing notebook computers and assured access to network resources to all students. Mobile Computing and Students at the University of Hong Kong-A Good Match Craig Blurton, University of Hong Kong Responding to developments in learning technologies, tertiary institutions around the world are exploring new methods of teaching and learning, developing new programme delivery mechanisms, and addressing the educational needs of new types of students.
