Building Educational Metadata Application Profiles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metadata schemas relevant to online education and training have recently achieved the milestone of formal standardization. Efforts are currently underway to bring these abstract models and theoretical constructs to concrete realization in the context of communities of practice. One of the primary challenges faced by these efforts has been to balance or reconcile local requirements with those presented by domain-specific and cross-domain interoperability. This paper describes these and other issues associated with the development and implementation of metadata application profiles. In particular, it provides an overview of metadata implementations for managing and distributing Learning Objects and the practical issues that have emerged so far in this domain. The discussion is informed by examples from two national education and training communities – Australia and Canada.

Characterization of Educational Resources in e-Learning Systems Using an Educational Metadata Profile
The ability to effectively administrate educational resources in terms of accessibility, reusability and interoperability lies in the adoption of an appropriate metadata schema, able of adequately describing them. A considerable number of different educational metadata schemas can be found in literature, with the IEEE LOM being the most widely known; however, it is often the case where it canno...
متن کاملOBAA-LEME: A Learning Object Metadata Content Editor supported by Application Profiles and Educational Metadata Ontologies
This paper proposes an editor for Learning Object Metadata compatible with the Semantic Web. This tool uses two base ontologies, OBAA and VideoAula to provide the semantics to describe learning objects. These ontologies are the core for a tool to verify the consistency of the user-input data and realize inferences about the described information. Furthermore, this tool is mainly based on applic...
متن کاملFind and Combine Vocabularies to Design Metadata Application Profiles using Schema Registries and LOD Resources
A metadata schema which defines constraints about metadata records is a fundamental resource for metadata interoperability. Building interoperable metadata schemas has been a main topic of the Dublin Core since its early days. It is important to make use of existing metadata schemas to develop a new schema in order to minimize newly defined metadata vocabularies, which is how DCMI has developed...

In the era of information systems globalization the need to have educational metadata to index and describe digital learning resources for easy searching, retrieving and reusing them quickly and efficiently is becoming an essential research topic in learning technologies discipline. In this paper we will present a brief overview of metadata standards, protocols and application profiles. Then we...
متن کاملExploring JXTASearch for P2P Educational Media Discovery
In this paper we present a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) application that aims at improving the discoverability of educational media typically distributed over different universities and institutions. We investigate JXTASearch, a distributed search engine constructed upon Sun’s open source P2P platform JXTA, and further extend it to support Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES) based P2P searches. Whil...
