Hi Ernie,
Did you hear about "Instructional Architect" (IA) program in development by The Reusability, Collaboration, and Learning Troupe - http://rclt.usu.edu/people.html - at Utah State University?
They are working in a "UseIA service" which is implemented as a web service using SOAP to access resources digital libraries and embed it in an instructional unit to use in a class. According to them:
"to use the service, the digital library simply calls a remote method through SOAP .(Currently, the service has been tested only with a PHP client. If you are using or plan to use a different platform, please let us know.)" - see http://ia.usu.edu/app_useIA/useIA_Specification.php
Current partner digital libraries include - http://ia.usu.edu/what.php
The WSDL of UseIA is here - http://ia.usu.edu/devel/app_useIA/useIA_server.php?wsdl.
I do not known how active is the program nowadays and AFAIK it uses older SOAP v1.1 specs. As I heard Nicks' soap-gateway package will support SOAP v1.1 do you think IA interoperability could be a good addition for LORS?
