Information technology for learning, education and training - Metadata for learning resources - Part 3: Basic application profile (ISO/DIS 19788-3:2026)

The primary purpose of ISO/IEC 19788 is to specify metadata elements and their attributes for the description of learning resources. This includes the rules governing the identification of data elements and the specification of their attributes.
ISO/IEC 19788 provides data elements for the description of learning resources and resources directly related to learning resources.
ISO/IEC 19788-3:2011 is designed to help implementers with a starting point for adopting ISO/IEC 19788, defining an application profile that specifies, through adding constraints to the use of some data elements, how the ISO/IEC 19788-2 element set can be used.

Technologies de l'information pour l'apprentissage, l'éducation et la formation - Métadonnées pour ressources d'apprentissage - Partie 3: Profil d'application de base (ISO/DIS 19788-3:2026)

L'ISO/CEI 19788 vise en premier lieu à spécifier les éléments de métadonnées et leurs attributs nécessaires à la description de ressources pédagogiques. Elle inclut les règles régissant l'identification des éléments de métadonnées et la spécification de leurs attributs.
L'ISO/CEI 19788 fournit des éléments de données nécessaires à la description de ressources pédagogiques et de ressources directement liées aux ressources pédagogiques.
L'ISO/CEI 19788-3:2011 est destinée à fournir aux implémenteurs un point de départ pour l'adoption de l'ISO/CEI 19788, en définissant un profil d'application qui spécifie, via l'ajout de contraintes à l'utilisation de certains éléments de données, la manière dont l'ensemble des éléments de l'ISO/CEI 19788‑2 peut être utilisé.

Informacijska tehnologija za učenje, izobraževanje in usposabljanje - Metapodatki za učne vire - 3. del: Osnovni profil aplikacije (ISO/DIS 19788-3:2026)

Primarni namen ISO/IEC 19788 je določiti metapodatkovne elemente in njihove atribute za opis učnih virov. To vključuje pravila, ki urejajo identifikacijo podatkovnih elementov in specifikacijo njihovih atributov.
ISO/IEC 19788 zagotavlja podatkovne elemente za opis učnih virov in virov, ki so neposredno povezani z učnimi viri.
ISO/IEC 19788-3:2011 je zasnovan tako, da pomaga izvajalcem z izhodiščem za sprejetje ISO/IEC 19788, z opredelitvijo aplikacijskega profila, ki določa, z dodajanjem omejitev pri uporabi nekaterih podatkovnih elementov, kako se lahko uporablja nabor elementov ISO/IEC 19788-2.

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 document 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).

Introduction
This document uses the property specification model and framework provided in ISO/IEC 19788-1:2024 to
describe a basic application profile as a recommended approach to enhance interoperability among learning
resource repositories. Processing a query for learning resources in a given format requires that format
information be available in all descriptions being searched. Likewise, searching or sorting based on a date
can only be done when a common format such as ISO 8601-2:2019/Amd 1:2025is used in all sets.
This application profile is intended as an example and a best practice guide that can be developed by
communities adding properties from other authorities or communities, including the IEEE Standard for
[1]
Learning Object Metadata (LOM) for extensions, modularization or refinement purposes.
