Dear all,
Following last weeks Educational Content SIG meeting in Glasgow some of
us met up informally to discuss the dreaded LOM learningResourceType
vocabulary in the context of the UK LOM Core. Those of you who are
familiar with this "idiosyncratic" vocabulary will not be surprised to
learn that we haven't managed to come to any definitive conclusions.
However we have continued the debate via e-mail and, as this topic is
likely to be of considerable interest to the Metadata SIG community,
I've collated our discussions into a word document and attached it below.
There seems to be general agreement that the current LOM vocabulary does
not meet our requirements but there is no general consensus as to what
to replace it with. Among the suggestions we've had so far are:
1. The Dublin Core Type vocabulary.
2. The RDN/LTSN vocabularies.
3. A single new vocabulary based on the above.
In order to open the debate to all SIG members please forward any
comments, suggestions or opinions to the list.
Best Wishes
Lorna
