Information technology - Learning, education and training - Metadata for learning resources - Part 5: Educational elements (ISO/IEC 19788-5:2012)

ISO/IEC 19788 specifies, in a rule-based manner, metadata elements and their attributes for the description of learning resources. This includes the rules governing the identification of metadata elements and the specification of metadata attributes.
These metadata elements are used to form the description of a learning resource, i.e. as a metadata learning resource (MLR) record.
ISO/IEC 19788-5:2012 specifies, using the framework specified in ISO/IEC 19788-1, educational aspects of learning resources across various educational, cultural and linguistic settings.

Zur Beschreibung von Lernressourcen legt ISO/IEC 19788 auf der Grundlage von Regeln Metadatenelemente und deren Attribute fest. Das umfasst die Regeln zur Bezeichnung von Metadatenelementen und die Festlegung der Attribute der Metadaten.
Diese Metadatenelemente werden genutzt, um eine Beschreibung der Lernressource zu erstellen, d. h. als (MLR) Eintrag einer Metadaten-Lernressource.
Dieser Teil von ISO/IEC 19788 legt unter Verwendung des in ISO/IEC 19788-1 festgelegten Rahmenwerks quer durch die verschiedenen pädagogischen, kulturellen und linguistischen Konfigurationen Bildungsaspekte der Lernressourcen fest.

Overview

EN ISO/IEC 19788-5:2014 (ISO/IEC 19788-5:2012) - published by CEN - is the part of the ISO/IEC 19788 series that defines educational elements for metadata describing learning resources. Built on the framework in Part 1, this rule-based specification defines the metadata elements and attributes (a Metadata Learning Resource - MLR - record) needed to describe how a resource is used in learning activities, how it relates to curricula, and how it targets specific audiences across diverse educational, cultural and linguistic settings.

Keywords: ISO/IEC 19788-5, metadata for learning resources, educational elements, MLR, learning resource metadata, interoperability.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Defines a comprehensive set of Data Element Specifications (DES) for educational metadata, including examples such as:
  • Annotation elements (date, text, type)
  • Audience descriptors (language, level, role)
  • Contributor / Contribution (role, date)
  • Curriculum elements (specification, level, topic, assessment)
  • Learning activity and learning method definitions
  • Pedagogical relations and types, prerequisite, typical learning time, age ranges
• Specifies resource class definitions (e.g., Learning resource, Person, Annotation, Audience, Curriculum, Learning activity) to structure MLR records.
• Includes predefined rule sets and normative vocabularies (Annex A) such as Agent role, Audience role, Induced activity, Learning method, Annotation type.
• Provides informative annexes with human interface equivalents, data element diagrams, and crosswalks to other metadata schemas (e.g., Learning Object Metadata (LOM) and Dublin Core / DCMI).
• Emphasizes interoperability, discoverability and machine-actionable metadata to support federated search and harvesting.

Practical applications and users

Who uses ISO/IEC 19788-5:

• Learning technologists and LMS/platform vendors implementing metadata models
• Digital repository managers and educational content publishers creating interoperable catalogues
• Curriculum designers and instructional designers mapping resources to curricula
• Metadata specialists, librarians, and integrators who perform crosswalks and metadata exchange Practical uses:
• Improve search and discovery of learning objects by curriculum topic, audience level or pedagogical type
• Enable curriculum mapping, automated recommendation and adaptive learning workflows
• Support interoperability between repositories, LMSs and educational services across languages and regions

Related standards

• ISO/IEC 19788 (series): Part 1 (Framework), Part 2 (Dublin Core elements), Part 3 (Basic application profile), other parts under development
• Crosswalks to LOM and DCMI/Dublin Core are provided in Annex D for compatibility with existing metadata ecosystems.

This standard is essential when you need consistent, standards-based metadata to describe the educational use and pedagogical context of learning resources.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technologies, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated the national bodies for voting. Publication
as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

0 Introduction
0.1 Overall purpose of ISO/IEC 19788
The primary purpose of ISO/IEC 19788 is to facilitate: (1) the description of a learning resource by providing a
standards-based approach to the identification and specification of the metadata elements required to
describe a learning resource, e.g. as a metadata learning resource (MLR) record; and (2) the search,
discovery, acquisition, evaluation, and use of learning resources, for instance by learners, instructors or
automated software processes. The interoperability of these functions can be achieved through harvesting or
federated search processes, among other technologies and solutions. ISO/IEC 19788 is based on identified
user requirements.
ISO/IEC 19788 is modularly structured with all subsequent parts corresponding to a specified set of user
requirements for the identification and specification of metadata elements having a particular focus and
intended use in the description of a learning resource. This includes categories of metadata elements focused
on technical perspectives, pedagogical aspects, availability and intellectual property aspects, bindings, etc.
0.2 Purpose and overview of ISO/IEC 19788-5
Educational elements defined in this part of ISO/IEC 19788 provide a means to describe learning resources
related to their use in learning activities, their relation to curricula or programs of teaching, their relation to
specific target groups, etc.
This part of ISO/IEC 19788 provides a set of data elements to describe the educational use of learning
resources. In the Information Technology for Learning Education and Training (ITLET) context, resources are
often used to attain a specific educational outcome that can be described in some form of educational
framework, for example as part of a curriculum, lesson plan, study program, etc. Information about a resource
may include a curriculum topic, often associated with a specific educational level, and sometimes with a
related description of a teaching method. Moreover, the achievement of the educational outcome can also be
measured or ascertained through some form of assessment.
The data elements defined in this part of ISO/IEC 19788 can be used in combination with elements from other
parts of ISO/IEC 19788, and/or in combination with elements from other standards, such as
ISO 15836:2009 [5], IEEE 1484.12.1-2002 [3] or other metadata schemas. Accordingly, a great number of
refinements of the data elements defined in this part of ISO/IEC 19788 are under the responsibility of
communities.

5 Data element specifications
All data element specification attributes are introduced in section 6.2 of ISO/IEC 19788-1:2011 Framework,
including data element specification (DES) identifiers. Examples of such unique identifiers are
“ISO_IEC_19788-2:2011::DES0020”, “ISO_IEC_19788-5:2012::DES0100”, etc. Implementing this Standard in
a technical application will often require a mapping of the DES identifiers defined in this (and other parts) to a
HTTP URI [5], following the rules given in a footnote to rule [R0004] in the framework, for convenience here
cited in full:
“For bindings those identifiers will map URI as defined by IETF RFC 5141 (A Uniform Resource Name (URN)
Namespace for the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)). Namespace related in this Part of
ISO IEC 19788 will be based on IETF RFC 5141 and its proposed process for identifier resolution (clause
2.8). For example, this Part of ISO/IEC 19788 (edition 1) document with identifier urn:iso:std:iso-iec:19788:-
1:ed-1:en corresponds to the HTTP URI http://standards.iso.org/iso-iec/19788/-1/ed-1/en/ (using
urn:iso:std:iso-iec:19788:-1:ed-1:en would also be possible).”
As an example, the URI for the MLR 5 Data element ISO_IEC_19788-5:2012::DES0200, Annotation text, will
be http://standards.iso.org/iso-iec/19788/-5/ed-1/en/DES0200.
The range attribute of data elements can either be a resource class or a set of literals.
Resource classes are defined in Clause 6.
In the following list, data elements specifications are listed in alphabetical order of their property name. A
graphical representation -of the data element specifications can be found in Annex C Diagram of data element
specifications for ISO/IEC 19788-5.
