BS 8419-1:2005 pdf free.Interoperability between metadatasystems used for learning, education andtraining — Code of practice for the development of application profiles.
BS 8419-1 This British Standard gives recommendations for achieving interoperability between systems in learning,education and training.
The standard provides guidance:
a) on the development and reuse of application profiles;
b) for the use of application profiles where interoperability is a requirement.
Where application profiles are developed solely for local use, then this standard as a whole is not applicablealthough individual recommendations could still prove useful.
The standard is applicable across all sectors and levels of learning, education and training. Whilst therequirements of different communities can lead to the development of different application profiles, theprocesses underlying the development will be common.
The standard provides guidance on the reuse of the BS ISO 15836 Dublin Core Metadata Element Set(DCMES) developed by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) [1] and the IEEE 1484.12.1-2002standard for Learning Object Metadata (LOM) developed by the Institute of Electrical and ElectronicsEngineers (IEEE)Learning Object Metadata Working Group [2].
The standard makes recommendations about encoding mechanisms (e.g.XML DTD, XML schema,RDF)for application profile bindings but does not mandate the use of any particular encoding mechanism.
The standard does not provide mechanisms for evaluating or comparing the educational value of learningresources.
The standard is intended to optimize, rather than completely remove, human interaction in the transfer ofinformation between systems.
