Dear all,
Apologies for cross posting.
Some of you will be aware that there was some discussion on the CETIS
Metadata SIG mailing list in June about a more appropriate name for the
UK Common Metadata Framework (UKCMF). There had been considerable
concern that the current name did not include any reference to the fact
that this is an _educational_ metadata framework. As this was felt to
be a critical issue, and following consultation with the FE/HE
community, the authors of the UKCMF have agreed to officially change the
name of this document to the UK LOM Core (UK Learning Object Metadata
Core). A new draft of the UK LOM Core will be posted to the CETIS
website shortly. Please note there are no other changes between the
UKCMF version 0.1 and the UK LOM Core version 0.1. The UK LOM Core is
still a draft document and we still encourage comments and feedback from
the user community.
Best Wishes
Lorna
