Erik Duval discusses ARIADNE, a project working to improve searchability of educational resources across repositories. The project networks repositories rather than taking them over. It has indexed over 37,000 resources and 97,000 assets. ARIADNE believes search should move from searching to social filtering and finding resources. The project aims to understand how the web impacts learning and improve clarity in open research.
