Education Metadata

Education metadata standards are published by ISO/IEC, DS, SS, ONORM, and IEEE, and describe the attributes of learning services and related software and data. ISO/IEC documents cover technical, data, and educational elements, framework, Dublin core elements, and basic application profile of learning resource metadata. DS standards cover learning resource technical and educational elements and basic application profile.

IEEE 1484.12.1-2020

IEEE Standard for Learning Object Metadata

Revision Standard - Active. A conceptual data schema that defines the structure of a metadata instance for a learning object is specified in this standard. For this standard, a learning object is defined as any entity, digital or non-digital, that is used for learning, education, or training; a metadata instance for a learning object describes relevant characteristics of the learning object to which it applies. Such characteristics can be regrouped in general, life cycle, meta-metadata, educational, technical, educational, rights, relation, annotation, and classification categories. The conceptual data schema defined in this standard specifies the data elements of which a metadata instance for a learning object is composed and allows for linguistic diversity of both learning objects and the metadata instances that describe them. It is intended that this standard will be referenced by other standards that will define the implementation descriptions of the data schema, so that a metadata instance for a learning object can be used by a learning technology system to manage, locate, evaluate, or exchange learning objects. The intent of this standard is to specify a base schema, which can be used to build on as practice develops, for instance in order to facilitate automatic, adaptive scheduling of learning objects by software agents. 


ONORM EN 15982:2011

Metadata for Learning Opportunities (MLO) - Advertising (Austrian Standard)

The European Standard EN 15982: 2011 Metadata for learning Opportunities (MLO)-Advertising specifies the characteristics of an electronic representation of Learning Opportunities in order to facilitate their advertising and subsequent discovery by prospective learners. It specifies an abstract model for representing Learning Opportunities. The model describes three resources about which metadata can be stored to facilitate advertising of Learning Opportunities; namely the Learning Opportunity Provider, the Learning Opportunity Specification and the Learning Opportunity Instance. This European Standard specifies the characteristics of relations between the three resources and recommends a core set of metadata for each.


ISO/IEC 19788-1:2011

Information technology - Learning, education and training - Metadata for learning resources - Part 1: Framework

The primary purpose of ISO/IEC 19788 is to specify metadata elements and their attributes for the description of learning resources. This includes the rules governing the identification of data elements and the specification of their attributes.

ISO/IEC 19788-1:2011 provides data elements for the description of learning resources and resources directly related to learning resources.

ISO/IEC 19788-1:2011 provides principles, rules and structures for the specification of the description of a learning resource; it identifies and specifies the attributes of a data element as well as the rules governing their use. The key principles stated in ISO/IEC 19788-1:2011 are informed by a user requirements-driven context with the aim of supporting multilingual and cultural adaptability requirements from a global perspective.

ISO/IEC 19788-1:2011 is information-technology-neutral and defines a set of common approaches, i.e. methodologies and constructs, which apply to the development of the subsequent parts of ISO/IEC 19788.
