Page "Learning object metadata" Paragraph 4

IMS Global Learning Consortium is an international consortium that contributed to the drafting of the IEEE Learning Object Metadata ( together with the ARIADNE Foundation ) and endorsed early drafts of the data model as part of the IMS Learning Resource Meta-data specification ( IMS LRM, versions 1. 0 – 1. 2. 2 ).

Feedback and suggestions from the implementers of IMS LRM fed into the further development of the LOM, resulting in some drift between version 1. 2 of the IMS LRM specification and what was finally published at the LOM standard.

Version 1. 3 of the IMS LRM specification realigns the IMS LRM data model with the IEEE LOM data model and specifies that the IEEE XML binding should be used.

Thus, we can now use the term ' LOM ' in referring to both the IEEE standard and version 1. 3 of the IMS specification.

The IMS LRM specification also provides an extensive Best Practice and Implementation Guide, and an XSL transform that can be used to migrate metadata instances from the older versions of the IMS LRM XML binding to the IEEE LOM XML binding.
