67: <p>GNU Edu is a web based international indexing system for educational
68: resources.
69: A resource is matched with a few keywords and "educational
70: items". Keywords and educational items can be translated, these
71: indexing elements do not rely on culture or school programs.</p>
72: <p>A bunch of metadata is also attached on every resource: author, date,
73: file format... and also involved educational software.</p>
74: <p>Searching is then made available on title, author.. as well as
75: involved software, as well as educational level and subject</p>
76: <p>GNU Edu is developed by <a class="reference" href="http://www.ofset.org">OFSET</a> association.</p>

80: <p>GNU Edu is in a prototype alpha stage for now.</p>
81: <p>This prototype is useful now to start building the data.</p>

85: <p>Teachers are the first targetted audience for GNU Edu. They should be
86: interested in searching a document for their lessons, and index their own.</p>
87: <p>Students and parents can be interested also, to search a resource
88: addressing their particular needs.</p>

94: <h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id13" name="what-is-a-gnu-edu-educational-item">2.1What is a GNU Edu educational item?</a></h2>
95: <p>An educational resource is intended for one or more educational
96: goal(s) like "draw a circle" or "conjugate an irregular verb".</p>
97: <p>These short sentences describing educational purposes are the GNU Edu
98: educational items.</p>

101: <h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id14" name="why-are-there-two-sorts-of-keywords">2.2Why are there two sorts of keywords?</a></h2>
102: <p>Ordinarily you wish a student to perform an action with an educational
103: resource: so GNU Edu action has keywords (like 'draw' or 'translate')
104: beside concept keywords (like 'circle' or 'verb').</p>

111: <p>That's fine.</p>
112: <p>All you will have to do is select keywords and items best matching
