meaggregator


MeAggregator is a JISC funded project allowing the user to integrate and disseminate information from a wide range of institutional and third party sources, incorporating a peer trust model and folksonomological ontologies.

The aim of this project is to develop an open source application that can be web based or on the desktop, that will serve as a MeAggregator. The MeAggregator will configure the total set of technologies that an individual is using at a specific point of time, on a flexible and modular basis. The specific objectives are to:

  • Produce an aggregator framework, on which to base modular development;
  • Provide a tool for students and staff to manage their online communities and channels, through advanced use of content aggregation technologies such as RSS and others;
  • Provide seamless access to academic content in institutionally-owned systems;
  • Provide a new space in which to create academic-related content, which can subsequently be remixed with their personal content in any way they wish;
  • Provide access to a new source of academic online communities that will foster links across disparate groups of students and staff who may not normally meet, yet share similar interests;
  • Provide a large social network of students and staff through which the dissemination of ideas can more easily flow.
