What is Digital Object Repository

Chapter 3
Handbook of Research on Hybrid Learning Models: Advanced Tools, Technologies, and Applications
This is a digital storage facility upon which are stored various types of digital artefacts such as messages, images, sound clips, text, and so on. The repository provides mechanisms for storing, retrieving and managing the objects that are sent to it. This type of storage system usually requires various types of management processes in order to ensure that the contained objects are stored in a way that ensures their efficient retrieval as and when they are needed.

Abstract
Metanotation is a powerful tool for describing systems, objects and processes. This chapter illustrates how this tool can be used to specify the nature and characteristics of learning systems and the various artefacts from which they are composed. It is suggested that messages and messaging systems are the fundamental building blocks from which learning artefacts are created. The chapter therefore discusses the nature of communication and messaging from an educational perspective and then outlines how various types of message artefact can be used to build hybrid learning systems that involve the use of Webs, Wikis, weblogs and electronic books.
