| Report from the European workshop, 25th April 2008 in Dublin Sharing Perspectives for the Rapid Development of Standards for Course Description and Curriculum Data From Rome to Dublin, momentum is building behind the area of Standards for the exchange of student and curriculum data between Higher Education Institutions and HE stakeholders at large. The Bologna Process is mandating attention to this theme and the HE sector is taking actions accordingly -the emerging Rome Student Systems and Standards Group (RS3G) is taking on the role of an influential reference point in this market. 37 participants from 11 different countries came together in Dublin on April 25th, 2008 to attend the 2nd workshop of the RS3G hosted by Digitary. The Dublin workshop built on the recommendations made at the first meeting hosted by KION in Rome in November 2007, to "share perspectives for the Rapid Development of Standards for Course Description and Curriculum Data". Representatives of the group reported to the assembly on the progresses made on the actions recommended in Rome:
Panel presentations, a discussion session and workgroup activity filled the agenda in order to share the different perspectives in a true workshop sense. The day kicked-off with the presentation of two main "standard" perspectives: the Industry one and the Standardization Community one. Building on the statement that "Standards come through adoption" (D. Moldoff, AcademyOne, USA, Rome Workshop, November 2007) the Dublin workshop emphasized the need to bridge the gap between the "standards-users" (HE market) and the "standards-makers" (standardization authorities), engaging a virtuous feedback mechanism between the two entities in order to maximize adoption and minimize time-to-market of a standard. The perspective of the industry, presented by RS3G representatives, shared a set of previously-collected business cases eligible for standardization - while the perspective of the standardization community, presented by Erlend Øverby (CEN's expert and facilitator of the MLO project), filled in the audience on the work of the standardization authorities and the "life-cycle" of standards. The afternoon open-session was provoked by the question "Is there a gap?" and was moderated towards possible "closing the gaps" considerations. The animated discussion eventually led to a workgroup activity aimed at integrating the workshop presentations and discussion. The final session of workshop wrapped-up the full-day of work and produced the following outcomes: Principles agreed by the group
