- Scope
- This British Standard gives recommendations for achieving interoperability between systems in learning, education and training. The standard is applicable across all sectors and levels of learning, education and training. The standard describes an overall approach for maximizing interoperability, which is applicable across different types of interoperability requirement. The standard describes general mechanisms for mapping between different vocabularies but does not provide recommendations or restrictions relating to the choice of vocabulary within any individual situation. The standard makes recommendations about the advantages in different contexts of different encoding mechanisms (e.g. XML DTD, XML schema, RDF) for metadata to enhance interoperability but does not prescribe the use of any particular encoding mechanism. The standard does not provide mechanisms for evaluating or comparing the educational value of learning resources. The standard is intended to optimize, rather than completely remove, human interaction in the transfer of information between systems.
