Welcome to the Frockle project wiki. Our intention is to have the main project web-site hosted [http://frockle.oucs.ox.ac.uk here]. Until we have that up and running, this site will probably act as a temporary location for information we intend to move to that location before too long.

Initial User Requirements

  • Facility to create/edit/delete user profile in VLE (in user's personal area).
  • Profile should include details of research interests, and publication list.
  • Default is a simple profile, advanced profile with additional fields available.
  • Ability to make profile public, or keep it private?
  • Locate and view public profiles of known people, by searching/browsing using person's name.
  • Locate people with similar or related research interests.
  • Link to others to create personal networks. (Differentiate between two-way and one-way linking.)
  • Require user to accept linking set up by a 'friend'?
  • Navigate personal networks, preferably visually.
  • Multi-level networks (e.g separate personal and work related networks).
  • Add links to resources (in VLE) to personal networks.
  • Share profile details with other systems or make same profile available in other systems (e.g. PDP).
  • User's XML FOAF profile should be available for FOAF discovery applications.

Possible WebLearn implementation

  • Profile to be displayed/edited in user's personal MyWebLearn area. /EditProfileScreenshot

  • Left hand frame in frameset modified to show profile snippet (and optional photo).
  • Right hand frame provides interface to:
    • create/edit profile
    • display complete profile
    • display visual FOAF network
  • Clicking on a person node in the network takes you to their MyWebLearn area (displays profile snippet on left).

  • People's research interests are represented as a different node type in the visual display?
  • Clicking on research interest node displays users with that interest (i.e not friend network.)
  • Modified version of current search facility used to provide search interface for users personal spaces.

Technical Requirements

  • Code should be usable in multiple systems (e.g. Bodington and Sakai).
  • Data shouldn't be in existing VLE database.
  • Code should support using Postgres database.
  • Increasing load on VLE server should be limited as much as possible.
  • Application should be reliable, usable with different browsers with varying configurations.
  • Ideally fit in with existing functionality in VLE, e.g. MyWebLearn personal spaces, keyword tagging and searching.
