Hello all,
The final committee draft of ISO Metadata for Learning Resources, Part
1: Framework is being presented to bodies such as the BSI for a ballot
to decide on whether it should proceed to the next stage of
standardization. The role of this part of the standard is to define how
other parts of ISO MLR should define the attributes and permitted use of
data elements; the aim is that it should be compatible with the LOM and
semantic approaches to metadata such the Dublin Core Abstract Model
(i.e. RDF). CETIS are hoping to collate a view from UK further and
higher education to pass on to the BSI in the hope of informing their
vote. For more details see

Liddy Nevile is also interested in view from those involved in the DC
education community, see
