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 ).

JISC CETIS originally began operation in 1998 as the UK IMS Centre, as in its early days it was primarily an organisation devoted to the development and dissemination of open technical specifications as part of the IMS Global Learning Consortium.

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project ( 3GPP ) defined a technical specification ( TS 24. 147 ) for conferencing within the IP Multimedia Subsystem ( IMS ) based on the Session Initiation Protocol ( SIP ), SIP Events, the Session Description Protocol ( SDP ) and the Binary Floor Control Protocol ( BFCP, aka RFC4582 ).

The IMS Question and Test Interoperability specification ( QTI ) provides a common format for describing and distributing question items across disparate systems.

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.

The IMS Vocabulary Definition and Exchange ( VDEX ) specification has a double relation with the LOM, since not only can the LOM provide metadata on the vocabularies in a VDEX instance, but VDEX can be used to describe the controlled vocabularies which are the value space for many LOM elements.

IMS is classified as a hierarchical database.

H. 263 is a required video codec in ETSI 3GPP technical specifications for IP Multimedia Subsystem ( IMS ), Multimedia Messaging Service ( MMS ) and Transparent end-to-end Packet-switched Streaming Service ( PSS ).

The standard uses XML, and it is based on the results of work done by AICC, IMS Global, IEEE, and Ariadne.

While there are other industrial-strength transaction processing systems, notably IBM's own CICS and IMS, TPF's raison d ' être is extreme volume, large numbers of concurrent users and very fast response times, for example VISA credit card transaction processing during the peak holiday shopping season.

The North American Numbering Plan ( NANP ) is an integrated telephone numbering plan administered by NeuStar ( formerly Lockheed Martin IMS ) which encompasses 24 countries and territories, including the United States and its territories, Canada, Bermuda, and 17 nations of the Caribbean .< ref >

( The only driver with more victories at IMS is Johnny Aitken, with 15 wins in 1909-1916.

Another benefit of indirect dialling is to free the user to change his phone telco, webpage, IMS, email or whatever telecom service he uses without having to tell all his contacts about that.

Immediately aft of the seeker, the missile forebody which is designed and manufactured by Indra Sistemas, contains the inertial measurement system ( IMS ), provided by Litef, a German subsidiary of Northrop Grumman.

IBM Information Management System ( IMS ) is a joint hierarchical database and information management system with extensive transaction processing capabilities.

IMS is still going strong over 40 years later and, over time, has seen some interesting developments as IBM System / 360 technology evolved into the current z / OS and System z9 and z10 technologies.

IMS is reportedly IBM's highest revenue software product, and it continues to grow.

The IMS Database component stores data using a hierarchical model, which is quite different from IBM's later released relational database, DB2.

In IMS, the hierarchical model is implemented using blocks of data known as segments.

VSAM and OSAM are usually referred to as the access methods, and the IMS " logical " view of the database is referred to as the database " organization " ( HDAM, HIDAM, HISAM, etc.

IMS is also a robust transaction manager ( IMS TM, also known as IMS DC ) — one of the " big three " classic transaction managers along with CICS and BEA ( now Oracle ) Tuxedo.

Thus IMS TM is quite like a Web application, operating through a CGI program ( for example ), to provide an interface to query or update a database.

Once the output message is complete and available the IMS control program sends it back to the originating terminal.

The most widely used content packaging format is that defined by IMS Global, which uses an XML manifest file called imsmanifest. xml wrapped up inside a zip file.

IMS is not intended to standardize applications but rather to aid the access of multimedia and voice applications from wireless and wireline terminals, i. e. create a form of fixed-mobile convergence ( FMC ).

IMS Connect comes standard with Version 9 and higher and provides a TCP / IP interface to Message Processing Programs running in IMS Message Processing Regions.

IMS TM provides a straightforward, easy-to-use, reliable, standard environment for high performance transaction execution.

This standard Cooper-Climax T53 F1 was donated by Jim Hall to the IMS in 1969.

To achieve these goals, IMS uses open standard IP protocols, defined by the IETF.

Example use of IMS: The LTE standard only supports packet switching with its all-IP network.

An example of a global standard based on IMS is MMTel.

The user can connect to IMS in various ways, most of which use the standard IP.
