RE: Presentation materials for tomorrows PI call - v.brief notes from CETIS/IMS meeting yesterday in London

Hi Mark

I was at the CETIS Metadata and Digital Respositaries SIG 
((http://metadata.cetis.ac.uk/) meeting in London yesterday - interesting 
and valuable, writing up fuller notes, but of immediate interest.

* IMS Realignment Activity (http://www.imsglobal.org/workinprogress.cfm), 
basically taking IMS metadata v1.2.2 to v1.3 to realign it with IEEE LOM - 
see text below from the IMS site.

Meta-data Realignment - This effort is resolving the drift that has 
occurred between the IMS Meta-data information model and the IEEE LOM 
standard, which began as a combination of IMS Meta-data and ARIADNE 
collaboration. The resulting work will point to the IEEE LOM Information 
Model and provide appropriate guidance with respect to bindings given that 
the IEEE LOM XML binding will not be complete until late 2003. An XSLT will 
be provided to ease conversion from the IMS Meta-data XML binding to the 
IEEE LOM XML binding. This work is anticipated to be completed by early 
Fall 2003. Industry Canada and Thomson/NETg chair the effort. Other 
participants include UK (CETIS), Australia (DEST), Thomson/NETg. In 
addition to these participants, the effort was informed by IBM, 
Click2learn, WGBH/NCAM, Carnegie Mellon University, Teaching and Learning 
Scotland, ADL, Learning Objects Networks, and requirements sessions with 
various Meta-data implementers in the profit and non-profit sectors 
worldwide.

* Talking to people from UKOLN heard of LOM/RDF binding activity 
http://kmr.nada.kth.se/el/ims/metadata.html

* In the context of discussions about identifers, their last meeting "CETIS 
MDR SIG Meeting on Identifiers for Learning Objects" is of interest see 
http://metadata.cetis.ac.uk/sig_meetings/bristol-july-2003_html - for notes 
and one of the presentations.

* The SIG co-ordinator mentioned that they would be interested in having 
input/contributions from projects involved in repositories work...

* Didn't have great deal of time to talk to people, but the JISC funded 
JORUM - as discussed on the list previously(http://www.jorum.ac.uk/) and 
Reload (Reusable Learning Object Authoring and Delivery - 
http://www.reload.ac.uk) projects are interesting.

* The "UK Learning Object Metadata Core Draft 0.1" 
(http://www.cetis.ac.uk/profiles/uklomcore/uklomcore_v0p1.doc) document 
might be of interest to people esp. the mapping at the end to a range of 
(most UK focused) standards.

* Also got two pointers to possible IEEE LOM marked up image collections or 
collections inc. images... following up today check.

See you at the PI meeting.

Paul
