A lens is a custom
view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a
fancy kind of list that will let you see content
through the eyes of organizations and people you
trust.
What is in a lens?
Lens makers
point to materials (modules and
collections), creating a guide that includes their own
comments and descriptive tags about the content.
Who can create a lens?
Any individual
member, a community, or a respected
organization.
What are tags?
Tags are descriptors
added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a
vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
Definition of an open lens
Any member is allowed to add content to an open
lens, even if the lens belongs to someone else. You can
think of open lenses as lists of similar works related
to the same subject, authored by various collaborating
organizations or members. Content added to open lenses
is reviewed for approval or deletion from the lens.
If you have permission to edit this content, using the "Reuse / Edit" action will allow you to check the content out into your Personal Workspace or
a shared Workgroup and then make your edits.
Derive a copy
If you don't have permission to edit the content, you can still use "Reuse / Edit" to adapt the content
by creating a derived copy of it and then editing and publishing the copy.
