Asset Integration Service (AI_)

The Asset Integration Service allows a customer application to process programmatically assets and to install natively Skillsoft hosted content, including Referenceware, SkillView, Search-and-Learn®, and Advanced Learning Structures. The service provides capabilities for automating the management of the assets that a customer application is entitled. This includes the following abilities:

• Get the initial list of entitled assets to initialize the customer application
• Get a list of newly entitled, modified, or not_entitled assets to keep the customer application up-to-date
• Access standards compliant metadata, for only AICC and Scorm entitled assets to install into the customer application

Assets installed via this service are described by standards compliant metadata with AICC launch URLs that point back to the OLSA environment. OLSA then mediates access to the Skillsoft hosted content.

There are several advantages to using the Asset Integration Service:

• Simplifies the physical management of installed assets into the customer application. The actual physical content does not transfer to the customer application environment.

Skillsoft manages the configuration of player settings and player versions and is transparent to the customer.
