Educational Resources in the Virtual Observatory

IVOA Note

Abstract (from the Note)

The goal of this IVOA Note is to introduce and explain practices followed and requirements found while creating and deploying astrophysical resources dedicated to educational purposes within the standard VO framework. Issues, proposed solutions and desirables are here reported to be possibly taken into account in future modifications of relevant standards. In detail, we discuss: the curation of educational resources inside or along with standard registries; use cases and techniques for registering and locating documents, tutorials and similar within the registries; dealing with multiple languages.

The Note is available on the Volute code repository to have it under version control. Browse trunk/projects/edu/edumatters at volute.googlecode.
