What makes a repository remixable?
Modular : Reusable componentsPluggable : Editable, structured formatShareable : CC licensePermanent : You can count on it

Repositories
OER API's What do we need?
1. Publishing / Retrieving / Transforming
APIs to get content in and out
2. Describing / Discovery
Metadata / Paradata
3. Content Format
Remixable

Closing the Loop: Make publishing easy
PotentialEdit and translate and then publish to repositories.
Create tests and use questions from open banks.
Ecosystem tools convert and transform.
With simple publishing, new OER from big initiatives can be shared and remixed.

OER API's : Describe and Discover (Next breakout session)
Description
* Dublin Core, Learning Objects Metadata
* LRMI, Schema.org
* Paradata (description through deduction)
Discovery Methods
* OAI-PMH : Getting metadata about and locations of resources in repositories
* Embedding in web pages (rdfa, microdata)
![Page 15: APIs for Remixable OER](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051513/546a9189af79596c268b5c48/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
OER API's: Format
To be remixable
* structure separate from presentation
* relevant for education (exercises, examples, etc)
* remixable structures often transformable
Formats
* CNXML
* Docbook, DITA, eLML, wikipedia wiki
* HTML5 + microdata, EPUB3 + epub:type

Questions
Are the reusability conditions the right ones? (modular, pluggable/structured, cc-licensed, permanent)
Will other OER repositories implement OERPub?
What about format? Under what conditions will OER support structured formats (XML, semantic HTML)
What about metadata? (Well we will ask that in the next breakout session)
What other API's are critical?
