[edit] Guidance Notes
Absence of applyTo organisation: Where an organisation to apply to is not specified, aggregators SHOULD interpret this as meaning that the provider is the organisation to apply to, and use its contact information for this purpose.
Absence of Venue: Where a venue is not specified, aggregators SHOULD interpret this as meaning that the provider address is the venue, and use its contact information for this purpose.
Determining uniqueness: Where a presentation does not contain an identifier, aggregators may need to construct presentation identifiers. It is recommended that presentations use a URL-formatted identifier where possible, following the scheme for the provider and course. E.g. "http://www.bolton.ac.uk/courses/1/2008-1"
Absence of study mode and attendance: Aggregators SHOULD assume that the default for any presentation is: studymode="Full Time", attendanceMode="Campus", attendancePattern="Daytime"
Recstatus: If the recstatus attribute is used, it should be used in conjunction with an identifier.
[edit] History
