Hi there,
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
Have to say I agree with Andy.
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

http://www.rdn.ac.uk/publications/rdn-ltsn/faq/
This is one option, the other option which was suggested by Boon (mail dated 5th Nov.) is to use the relation fields of the LOM.

This very issue came up at the IMS meeting in San Jose last week.  The group drafting the Reading List Interoperability specification wanted to know if it is possible to record citations using the LOM.  I passed on both Andy and Boon's suggestions which everyone agreed were very useful.  Two contributors to the LOM (Dan Rehak and Claude Ostyn) happened to be present and they commented that Boon's suggestions was probably more in line with their original thinking although using the location fields as Andy suggests is perfectly valid.

Bye
Lorna
