Abstract

This project sought to improve the capability of the University of Bolton (UoB) to capture, store, and re-use course related data for marketing, efficiency, and intelligence purposes. As well as using established techniques, the project sought to explore the use of innovative approaches that are more flexible in allowing for the combining of data from different sources; this may be poorly structured data and/or from outside the institution. This is of particular relevance in the current HE context, where there is increased reporting and use of data for different purposes. The XCRI-CAP specification was used for standardising course related information so that is available for marketing and advertising purposes and, where appropriate, aggregation with other providers’ data.
