Examples of how using the e-Framework has been beneficial

Federated Repositories for Education (FRED)

"The FRED project was intended to create reusable infrastructure services; this would have been impossible unless we had a framework from which to design for interoperability. The e-Framework was particularly well suited for this in that it took into account the broader business context for services -- without which you cannot get true interoperability."

Learning Object Repository Network (LORN)

"Using the SUM template and with the support of e-Framework staff, the project used an iterative process to develop the SUM. This involved the facilitation of discussions with stakeholders and the identification of weaknesses in current documentation."

The Le@rning Federation - National Resolver

"The most beneficial aspect of using the e-Framework was not the SUM (as we use our own design methodology) but that the solution was built reusing existing code from other projects with e-Framework SUMs."

Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Prototype Architecture;
Improving User Interactions with ADL Systems (distribution, discovery and delivery of content in the US Army)

"...use of Service Usage Model (SUM) diagrams was pivotal in focusing discussions and the thinking about what to do next and why, rather than just reacting to short-term technical interoperability problems."

-- Daniel Rehak, manager of the Learning Systems Architecture Lab (LSAL) and technical lead for ADL Prototype Architecture and Improving User Interactions with ADL Systems projects
