Dear all,
We are currently scoping a metadata profile in LOM for a project which
involves repurposing (direct linking) of library materials within
VLEs. One of the requirement is to enable the use of learning object
only to a specific duration according to copyrights restriction set
out by university and 3rd party publishers: e.g. tutor requesting a
specific electronic article of a journal to be included in a reading
list; due to cost consideration, the article is restricted to a set
period of time by the publisher.
If I am not mistaken, LOM doesn't has the capability (at least
explicitly) to specify a copyright duration for resources. It has a
'duration' element applicable only in a technical sense, i.e. the
physical runtime duration of the resource, e.g. '3 minutes' of a video
clip. It also specifies a recommended duration <
indicating how much time learners should spend on a learning object.
I am interested to find out any common practice or if anyone has
implemented this requirement using LOM, without extending or
'bastardised' it. We are currently considering:

Please note that the above is a simplication of LOM for the purpose of
this discussion, it does not include the XML details (source/value
pairs, langstring etc.) required by the LOM XML Binding.
This message if also a follow-up to a previous thread in this list:
