Thanks Jeremy, Richard and Janet. It does sound like it could potentially be really useful for things like www.museumoflondon.org.uk/schools10-11 as Jeremy says, but also for the resource bank that we used to have and could do with updating, and also for projects like www.museumoflondon.org.uk/picturebank.
As Janet says, however, the forthcoming curriculum change does make for a certain amount of uncertainty though.
Thanks everyone
Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon,
In the dim distant past of Curriculum Online there was some quite complex metadata to describe educational resources in National Curriculum terms and to indicate what type of resource it was as well as a closely-defined range of learner types/levels. From what I can recall, it went beyond the boundaries of National Curriculum.
It could be useful to help schools/colleges/teachers etc find relevant resources, and to help museums pick out easily the relevant material for their own educational resources, teachers' notes etc.
I remember heaving a sigh of relief that I wouldn't have to apply the metadata to the all educational resources for which I was responsible at the time as they announced the demise of Curriculum Online just as I had reached the point of having to do it.
It is possibly the most likely to change element of metadata as the National Curriculum does and will get changed, of course.
Best wishes,
Janet
Janet E Davis
