{{ :blocks:logo-apl.png?nolink |}} =====Shared resources: Network operation Mnet of libraries ===== =====Objective === Implement an interaction service between the libraries and shared resources of several Moodles connected in a MNET based network. ==== Introduction ==== This makes possible to query a remote library of the network, in addition to the local library. Remote moodles are so called "Remote Resource providers" and the local Moodle is so called a "Resource consumer". A shared resource is known as having a unique storage reference point so it's network persistant link should remain unique and stable. When called from some point of a newtwork, the calling moodle will create a shared resource proxy record, to the resource can be locally indexed, but the absolute storing location will not change. With enough capabilites, a resource may be asked to migrate from a moodle to another moodle, so that its reference point changes (This a very advanced feature, by the way).
