Bindings

LOM elements

A LOM-DE XML binding is documented at http://melt.fwu.de/lom-de/lom-de.xsd It is derived from the standard IEEE LOM binding (http://ltsc.ieee.org/xsd/lomv1.0/lom.xsd), using amendments from http://fire.eun.org/xsd/lre/lre.xsd.

Vocabulary descriptions

Vocabularies are hard-coded in the LOM-DE binding.

Alternatively, they can be bound to the loose version of the IEEE binding using the XVD3 conceptual model. For more details see the CEN Workshop Agreement CWA 15453 (ftp://ftp.cenorm.be/PUBLIC/CWAs/e-Europe/WSLT/cwa15453-00-2005-Nov.pdf).

Thesauri

Mandatory Elements

The definition group for a national LOM has compared different relevant German metadata formats.As a result the group defined which metadata elements are considered to become „mandatory“ for a nationwide metadata exchange.

5.1 Interactivity Type Definition of a LO according to the interactivity type.

0...1 unspecified activeexpositivemixed


optional

"active": LO that directly induces productive action by the learner. An active learning object prompts the learner for semantically meaningful input or for some other kind of productive action or decision, not necessarily performed within the learning object's framework.

"expositive": LO that displays information but does not prompt the learner for any semantically meaningful input.

“mixed”: LO that blends theactive and expositive interactivity types.

NOTE:--Activating links to navigate in hypertext documents is not considered to be a productive action.

Mapping of German EAF (Extended Exchange Format)

1. Mapping of additional German Educational.context types to LOM-DE

The LRE vocabulary entry „compulsory education“ covers all types of German schools from grade 1 to grade 13 (12) except vocational education. In combination with LOM attribute „Educational.Typicalagerange“ a part of these types can be mapped without loss of information.

Special forms of the German school system like „Hauptschule“ cannot be mapped to LOM-DE.

Educational.Context (EAF Vocabulary)

LRE Vocabulary mapping LRE Typical Age Range

Mapping of differences between German statesDifferences between German states concerning context definitions (i.g. „Grundschule“) can be expressed by using „educational.context“ in combination with „educational.typicalagerange“

„Audiovisuelles Medium“ has been added to the list.

„Lernumgebungen“ and „Kommunikations- und Kooperationsumgebungen seem to be too unspecific. So they are not directly mappable. They need to be specified i.e. as „other web resource“ / „open activity“.

„Lehrmaterial“, „Lernmodul“, Unterrichtseinheit“ and „Kurs“ are not part of the learning resource type list, as they are part of LOM element 1.8 „Aggregation.Level“)
