15:00 - 15:45 Discussion

What are the ways forward for the SIG's core business of advancing interoperability for e-portfolio and related learner services? Work forward from IMS ePortfolio, BSI UKLeaP, or HR-XML? Hook on to RSS, FOAF, etc.; both, or neither? We aimed to discuss the various scenarios and use cases which require interoperability, and to see what consensus there is concerning ways forward.
