Hello everyone,
Firstly apologies for cross-posting.
I have been trying for the last few days to encode data from my new
MySQL data structure into LOM XML.
I need to come up with a formal syntax for title element ordering where
each discrete value can be parsed out again at the other end and that
forms a clear citation in its own right. This is what I have come up with:
<title>
<string language="en-GB">
Main title of this item : main sub-title (First alternative title for
this resource : first sub-title) (Second alternative title : 2nd
sub-title for this resource) - Journal title : journal sub-title -
Volume - Part - pp 20-21 [Series title : series sub-title]
</string>
</title>
The data structure I have is able to cope with this richness of
description and ocassionally there will be resources that it.
Can anybody see any problems with this? I'd like to codify it into our
compliance guidelines document for the LTSN/RDN interoperability project.
Many thanks.
