Information technology for learning, education and training - Metadata for learning resources - Part 2: Dublin Core elements (ISO/IEC DIS 19788-2:2025)

ISO/IEC 19788 specifies metadata elements and their attributes for the description of learning resources. ISO/IEC 19788-2:2011 provides a base-level data element set for the description of learning resources, from the ISO 15836:2009 Dublin Core metadata element set, using the framework provided in ISO/IEC 19788-1:2011. Those data elements being cast into the metadata learning resources framework can be used with data elements defined in other parts, in order to address specific user communities' needs for extensions, modularization or refinement.

L'ISO/CEI 19788 spécifie les éléments de métadonnées et leurs attributs nécessaires à la description de ressources pédagogiques. L'ISO/CEI 19788-2:2011 fournit un ensemble d'éléments de données de base pour la description de ressources pédagogiques, qui a été déterminé à partir de l'ensemble d'éléments de métadonnées «Dublin Core», à l'aide du cadre conceptuel fourni dans l'ISO/CEI 19788‑1. Ces éléments peuvent être ensuite combinés à d'autres éléments de description, notamment ceux provenant d'autres parties, répondant aux besoins particuliers de communautés d'utilisateurs en termes d'extensions, de modularisation ou de raffinement.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
