Hi We've had an enquiry from a researcher in Switzerland regarding learning object metadata - [log in to unmask] . Gabriela would like to hear from anyone with a) a registry of LOM repositories/banks b) a well-populated LOM repository/bank Apols for x-posting - I've sent this to [log in to unmask] and to [log in to unmask] It would be really useful if you could share your responses - especially anyone that has a registry of LOM repositories!

According to my research, I need to have access to a vast number of LOMs in order to test my proposed "semantic search machine" for metadata. Although I've been looking for the available "LOMs' banks" in the web, I couldn't find any digital library with source code accessible or enabled LOM downloads. Having seen your websites, I would like to ask you if you could kindly let me know about any existing LOMs' repository that might contain available LOM for research (XML files). Many thanks in advance for your collaboration and kind regards, Gabriela.
