Rafael,

A time ago I saw a post of yours in this forum about openacs work at WEG/Univ. Sydney. There was a work under development by Nick Carrol about  implementing web services for remote portals (WSRP) specs in dotLRN. I know Vignette, BEA Logic, U-Portal an others are supporting this protocol.

Are there news about Carrol's work on WSPR on dotlrn portlets implementation?  Is there documentation and most important is there a way to cooperate?

Thanks

Orzenil

Orzenil,

Well that is my goal to implement web services for WSRP.  I'm still working on converting service contracts to web services.  Will then build on this for WSRP.

Cheers,
Nick.

Thanks for your reply, Nick

I saw other posts from you where you said the big picture that you have in mind is to use web services as a way for dotLRN to comply to OKI. Are you also thinking about a way to comply dotlrn to specs from IMS relating ,in example, Learning Resources?

Do you have a document on your vision about web services available for reading? I'm a newbie but very curious about this kind of approach you're outlining.
