Review of Research on Metadata

Section 1
This page is for collecting information about current metadata developments, linking to useful websites and commenting on what we find there. Our objective is to develop a metadata scheme for HCLE that promotes several different kinds of searches through our catalog. HCLE searches will be used for:
 * Tracking and handling physical items as they are processed from intake through deaccessioning.
 * Recording information about HCLE related items in the HCLE catalog, both items owned by LO*OP Center, Inc. and items owned by other institutions and individuals.
 * Discovering how items were used in the past with particular emphasis in their use for learning and in formal educational settings
 * Relating items to their authors, inventors, creators or users.
 * Identifying how and when items are used in HCLE exhibits

Metadata Schemae for Open Educational Resources
> //Learning objects// (Wiley, 2002), have been defined as “any entity, digital or non-digital, which can be used, re-used or referenced during technology supported learning”. In (Danziel, 2002) learning objects are defined as “an aggregation of one or more digital assets, incorporating meta-data, which represent an educationally meaningful stand-alone unit” and according to (IEEE LTSC, 2002), a learning object is “any entity -digital or non-digital- that may be used for learning, education or training”. Examples of reusable digital sources are images, video files, audio files or even a web page.
