LOMLOD

This page provides guidelines for the exposure of learning object metadata as linked data, using the IEEE LOM standard as the base schema.

NOTE: This is not intended as a formal specification or standards, it is solely providing good practice identified for the exposure in linked data in the Organic.Edunet repository.

Repositories, referatories and their description
Learning objects are currently shared through different kinds of systems. These types include Learning Object Repositories (LORP), Learning Object Referatories (LORF), Open Courseware Initiatives (OCW) and Learning Management Systems (LMS). We will refer to all of them as "repositories" in this document. They all share the common functionality of storing and exposing in some way the description of learning resources. We limit our discussion here to descriptions that use the IEEE LOM standard, but it should be noted this covers

It is important to notice that the same learning resource (being available at some URI) could have been described at different repositories. Further, these descriptions may be significantly different, as they might be describing different educational usages of the same resource.
