Paul,
according to the RLLOMAP
http://www.rdn.ac.uk/publications/rdn-ltsn/ap/
1.2 title should be the 'Name given to this learning object'.
The journal title, volume, etc. are *not* part of the name of the learning
object. That information should go into
4.3 location
in the form of an OpenURL - which is machine-readable. See section 4 of
the RLLOMAP (above) and the answer to question 12 of the RDN/LTSN
technical FAQ
