Simple Publishing Interface
Last modified on ...
Purpose: SPI makes it easier to transfer learning materials from tools that create them (like authoring or presentation tools) to repositories that store or manage them (like digital libraries, video servers, or institutional repositories).
Interoperability: The goal is to ensure different systems (tools and repositories) can work together seamlessly. This means that a piece of content created in one system can be easily stored, accessed, or managed in another system without losing the important connections between the content and its metadata.
Applications Beyond Education: While SPI was developed with educational tools and repositories in mind, it can be applied in many fields where there is a need to publish and manage digital content and metadata, such as libraries, archives, or media repositories.
Uses Existing Technologies: Instead of creating a new technology from scratch, SPI is designed to work with existing protocols and technologies (like SWORD and PENS), making it practical and easier to implement.
