2. History
 IMS LIP (2001)
 UKLeaP allowed for PDP (drafted 2004)
 IMS ePortfolio took on PDP structures (2005)
 Perceived need for a simpler basis (2004? onwards)
 PIOP project (2008); LEAP2A is an emerging Atom-
based specification that is being developed and agreed
with e-portfolio system developers
 LEAP 2.0 (from 2007) comprises a broader, forward-
looking, exploratory set of possibilities, based on
Semantic Web concepts, for extending LEAP2A or
similar, all based on same general ideas as LIP
