Learning Objects Metadata IEEE P1484.12 Learning Technology Standards Committee London, UK March 16, 2000 Chair: Wayne Hodgins
Agenda • Call to order • Minutes of last meeting approved online • Review & approve agenda • Old business- WD4 ballot resolution • New business • Multiple Project Proposals (if decided to split PAR) • Interoperability presentation: Frank F • Next meetings: - next LTSC LOM meetings 25-28 June, 2000 • Montreal, Quebec, Canada • Adjournment, wed. March 16, 2000
IEEE Standards Development Process Idea for Standard Develop & Approve PAR LOM is HERE Organize Working Group Develop Draft Standard Ballot Draft Standard Approve Draft Standard Publish Approved Standard
LOM History • Original sources: • ARIADNE • CEdMA LALO • IMS • LOMG • Dublin core • All integrated into original 1484.12 LOM base document
Standards Draft Writing Process Write Scope & Purpose See Related Stds. & Pubs Draft Outline Fill in Outline LOM is HERE Revise, Revise, Revise Finalize Document
Objectives this meeting: • Ballot resolution: • Achieve maximum consensus • Review of comments received • Turn “no’s” to YES, maintaining all YES • Finalize WD for submission to SEC & IEEE LOM Balloting Group • Schedule & preparation for IEEE balloting • Standards documentation style, guidelines, and plan to proceed with transition to draft standard
Agenda • LOM WD4 ballot resolution overview. • Multiple project proposal as way to resolve multiple ballot issues. • Schedule for remaining work, draft standard,etc. • Update of draft standard process. • Interoperability presentation
Overview & Status update: • Critical to stay on schedule and complete! • Glossary harmonization completed • v4 Approved as New Working Draft • 28 qualified voters • 3 abstained • 8 Non response (new rules discount these) • = 20 total participating in voting (71%) • 17 YES (= 100 % or unanimous approval of WD4) • 2nd question, Vote for forwarding WD4 to SEC was 9 Yes, 8 No, 1 Abstain, however there were 8 no responses so using the policy in effect at the time, counting non responses as NO votes, this is considered to be 9/25 vote and hence defeated. • HOWEVER, the objective is maximum consensus! • Thus working on further ballot resolution before submitting to SEC
Outstanding issues: • PAR not being met • Insufficient conformance statements
Review from Ballotting: • V4.1 updated with resolved issues • Summary of remaining issues
PROPOSAL #1: • Divide the current LOM PAR into a series of individual Projects (PARs) • For example only, this might result in: • P1484.12.1 LOM Data Schema • P1484.12.2x set of LOM instance bindings (eg: 11404, XML DTD, SQL - DDL) • P1484.12.3y LOM Protocol and API (eg: Querey protocol)
Rationale: • Standardize the smallest useful, doable, LOM specification that has technical feasibility, commercial viability and widespread adoption. • Resolve a large number of ballot concerns raised. • Make more progress sooner • Flexible model useful in future • Improved specification and standard
Proposal #2: • Submit a PAR for the P1484.12.1 LOM Data Schema. • Technical Editor: Erik Duval
Proposal #3: • Submit one or more PAR for P1484.12.1 LOM binding standards. • XML DTD • ISO 11404 • SQL – DDL • ???? • Nominate a Technical Editor & champion for each PAR
Proposal #4: • Submit one or more PAR for P1484.12.1 LOM API & Protocol standards. • Query • Store • ???? • Nominate a Technical Editor & champion for each PAR
Interoperability: • Presentation by Frank Farance
Next Steps: • Form new PAR groups • Develop & submit PARs for approval • Continue to resolve ballot issues • Ballot new WD5 • Submit final Working Drafts to SEC and IEEE LOM Balloting Group process
