Clients 

O.K.I (Open Knowledge Initiative) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Learn eXact LCMS is the 

first commercial product that has integrated with MIT's Open Knowledge Initiative enabled third party 

software. 

The most relevant product used in this case is the eXact packager authoring module which upgraded to the 

new OKI ODIDs layer allows integration to third party content repositories. This allows users to perform local 

queries together with distributed searches to federated repositories to harvest assets, learning objects and 

content packages to be then assembled into learning courses.
