Now that the uptake of LOM is continuing to accelerate, we should make
sure that we create and sustain the necessary feedback loops to learn
from experience.
Therefore, I have set up a "LOMnext" wiki at
http://ariadne.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/vqwiki-2.5.5/jsp/Wiki?LOMnext. From
that wiki:
---begin---
The purpose of this wiki is to collect issues and problems with LOM
(the Learning Object Metadata standard).
Currently, we are collecting such issues. At the May IEEE LTSC meeting,
on May 16-17, we will have an opportunity to further discuss and build
consensus around these issues.
The overall approach is to "fix" what is "broken" in a "maintenance
release". What can be "improved", "added", etc. will be discussed, but
will probably not make it into a "maintenance release". Rather, the
"next generation version" of LOM would probably be scheduled for 2007
or 2008. A migration path from LOM-2002 to LOM-2008 will be essential.
----end----
We can use the wiki and this general LOM maillist to discuss the
issues: the goal is to strive for consensus on the maintenance release
at the May meeting.
