As the number of obj

23、ects grows exponen-tially and our needs for learning expand equally dramatically, the lack of information or metadata aboutobjects places a critical and fundamental constraint on our ability to discover, manage, and use objects.This standard addresses this problem by dening a structure for interoper

24、able descriptions of learningobjects.AcknowledgementsThe IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee (LTSC) P1484.12 Learning Object Metadata (LOM)working group wishes to thank Erik Duval, Tom Wason, and Wayne Hodgins for their tireless efforts andcommitment to developing a high quality solution an

Overview1.1 ScopeThis is a multi-part standard that species learning object metadata. This part species a conceptual dataschema

35、 that denes the structure of a metadata instance for a learning object. For this standard, a learningobject is dened as any entitydigital or non-digitalthat may be used for learning, education, or training.For this standard, a metadata instance for a learning object describes relevant characteristic

36、s of the learningobject to which it applies. Such characteristics may be grouped in general, life cycle, meta-metadata, educa-tional, technical, educational, rights, relation, annotation, and classication categories.The conceptual data schema specied in this part permits linguistic diversity of both

37、 learning objects and themetadata instances that describe them. This conceptual data schema species the data elements which compose a metadata instance for a learningobject. This part is intended to be referenced by other standards that dene the implementation descriptions of thedata schema so that

38、a metadata instance for a learning object can be used by a learning technology system tomanage, locate, evaluate, or exchange learning objects. This part of this standard does not dene how a learning technology system represents or uses a metadatainstance for a learning object.1.2 PurposeThe purpose

39、 of this multi-part standard is to facilitate search, evaluation, acquisition, and use of learningobjects, for instance by learners or instructors or automated software processes. This multi-part standard alsofacilitates the sharing and exchange of learning objects, by enabling the development of ca

40、talogs and inven-tories while taking into account the diversity of cultural and lingual contexts in which the learning objectsand their metadata are reused. IEEEStd 1484.12.1-2002 IEEE STANDARD FOR 2Copyright 2002 IEEE. All rights reserved.By specifying a common conceptual data schema, this part of

41、this standard ensures that bindings of learningobject metadata (LOM) have a high degree of semantic interoperability. As a result, transformations betweenbindings will be straightforward.This part of this standard species a base schema, which may be extended as practice develops, e.g., facili-tating

42、 automatic, adaptive scheduling of learning objects by software agents.2. ReferencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
