What is ISO/IEC 19788-7 - Information technology about?
ISO/IEC 19788-7 provides RDF mappings of the different MLR entities introduced in the MLR framework data element specifications (DESs), resource classes (RCs), data elements (DEs), application profiles (APs), MLR records, and data element group specifications (DEGSs).
ISO/IEC 19788-7 associates HTTP IRIs (linguistically neutral, and linguistic) to conceptual MLR entities denoted by MLR identifiers. This is needed for the management of MLR entities, and their versions.
ISO/IEC 19788-7 provides excerpts of an OWL 2 DL ontology for the resource classes, and data element specifications introduced in the ISO/IEC 19788 series.
Who is ISO/IEC 19788-7 - Information technology for?
ISO/IEC 19788-7 on information technology is useful for:
- Higher education institutions
- Employers
- Service providers
- Learners
Why should you use ISO/IEC 19788-7 - Information technology?
The primary purpose of ISO/IEC 19788-7 is to provide you:
- The description of a learning resource by providing a standards-based approach to the identification, and specification of the metadata elements required to describe a learning resource
- The search, discovery, acquisition, evaluation, and use of learning resources, for instance by learners, instructors, or automated software processes
ISO/IEC 19788-7 is modularly structured with all subsequent parts corresponding to a specified set of user requirements for the identification, and specification of metadata elements have a particular focus, and intended use in the description of a learning resource. This includes categories of metadata elements focused on technical perspectives, pedagogical aspects, availability, and intellectual property aspects, bindings, etc.
ISO/IEC 19788-7 maps the different ISO/IEC 19788-1 constructs to machine-readable/understandable entities. ISO/IEC 19788-7 proposes global (non-linguistic) identifiers for MLR entities, and localized (linguistic) identifiers for the same MLR entities.
The primary purpose of ISO/IEC 19788-7 is to specify elements, and their attributes for the description of learning resources. This includes the rules governing the identification of data elements, and the specification of their attributes. ISO/IEC 19788-7 provides data elements for the description of learning resources, and resources directly related to learning resources.
ISO/IEC 19788-7 provides principles, rules, and structures for the specification of the description of a learning resource. ISO/IEC 19788-7 identifies, and specifies the attributes of a data element as well as the rules governing their use. The key principles stated in ISO/IEC 19788-7 are informed by a user requirements-driven context with the aim of supporting multilingual, and cultural adaptability requirements from a global perspective. ISO/IEC 19788-7 is information technology-neutral, and defines a set of common approaches, i.e. methodologies, and constructs.
