The MACE project web­site is online as a first version:

The MACE project sets out to trans­form the ways of e-learning about archi­tec­ture in Europe. It will inte­grate vast amounts of con­tent from diverse repos­i­to­ries cre­ated in sev­eral large pre­vi­ous projects as well as from exist­ing archi­tec­tural design com­mu­ni­ties. MACE will pro­vide a frame­work for com­mu­nity based ser­vices such as find­ing, acquir­ing, using and dis­cussing about e-learning con­tents that were pre­vi­ously reach­able only to small user groups. […] The project will develop and use sev­eral types of meta­data for tag­ging con­tents: tra­di­tional con­tent meta­data and ontolo­gies, con­text meta­data, com­pe­tence meta­data and learn­ing process meta­data, usage related meta­data and meta­data acquired through social inter­ac­tion, e.g. rec­om­men­da­tions by peer users or blog entries.

I am engaged on the project as a part-time researcher here at FHP. A ter­rific chance to get some really good inter­faces going, espe­cially since there is a lot of data, even more meta­data and a pow­er­ful con­sor­tium involved. I am look­ing for­ward to it!
