Chasqui defines an architecture for repositories of learning objects in specialized domains that has been refined during the
virtualization of two academic museums at Complutense University of Madrid (Spain). Learning objects in Chasqui follow the
virtual object model, a specific model that has arisen and evolved during the two virtualization experiences cited. In this paper we describe
how the Chasqui architecture can be extended with a flexible importation / exportation system that lets Chasqui repositories
store learning material developed with other application profiles as virtual objects. This system makes the practical interoperability
between Chasqui repositories and other third-party e-learning platforms and authoring tools possible. We also illustrate this
feature with several case-studies.
