European Schoolnet is an international partnership of 28 European Ministries of Education developing learning for schools, teachers and pupils across Europe. European Schoolnet (EUN) is a unique not-for-profit consortium of 28 ministries of education in Europe created in 1997. EUN provides major European education portals for teaching, learning and collaboration and leads the way in bringing about change in schooling through the use of new technology. Since its establishment, European Schoolnet (EUN) has been at the forefront in supporting the European dimension in schools. This goal is achieved through projects, competitions, activities, communication and information exchange at all levels of school education using innovative technologies. European Schoolnet is at the crossroads of national and regional education networks, building synergies between communities of teachers, learners, developers, researchers and policy-makers. EUN�s work is organised in three strands corresponding to its core objective of supporting the efficient use of ICT in education and the European dimension in education: School networking and practice; knowledge building and exchange on ICT and practice and Interoperability and content exchange.

While most of the original development of the OSIDs was done with Java in mind, the architectural decisions in the OSIDs are language and platform agnostic. What we have done is taken the abstracted description of the OSIDs written by the O.K.I. developers and converted it into PHP class definitions. For the most part, these PHP class definitions look just like the Java version of the OSIDs, albeit with PHP syntax. An exception to this similarity is the use of optional parameters in the PHP methods instead of the use of method overloading in Java. From a usage standpoint however, the PHP and Java versions are identical. See phpoki.org for more information.
