"The field of education technology guides some interesting development directions of actual application of XML metadata. There is a large number of norms, standards and development technologies in this field, but all of this is IEEE learning object metadata (IEEE Learning Objects metadata, Lom )specification."
"Lom stems from AriaDne's metadata research and IMS metadata, like most major educational technology organizations in the world, these two organizations have been in Lom. Lom and Scorm are very flexible and easy to expand, so although learning objects There are many different construction standards, but there is a great foundation. "
Lom defines a basic mode that defines the hierarchy of the data element for learning object metadata. The highest level of the hierarchy has 9 categories, here the list of Lom specification itself is descript:
"General" category contains general information describing the entire learning object. "LifeCycle Category contains features related to the history and current status of the learning object, as well as those that play a role in its evolution." "Meta-metadata) category includes information about metadata instance itself (rather than learning objects described in metadata instance)." Technical) Category includes the technical needs and technical features of learning objects. " "Educational" category includes the education and education characteristics of learning objects. "The Copyrights (Rights) category includes intellectual property and conditions for learning objects." "Relational Category includes defined learning objects and other related learning objects The relationship between the relationship. "Annotation Category provides annotations for educational applications for learning objects, and provides information about where to create this annotation." "Classification) Category Description This learning object and a specific classification system Relationship."

In the IBM's developer website, I found this article in the RDF area, in the E-Learning field, Lom than SCORM, and so far, it seems that there is no recommended standard.
