ISO/IEC DIS 19788-7

Description / Abstract: Scope of MLR multipart standard

The primary purpose of ISO/IEC 19788 multipart 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 provides data elements for the description of learning resources and resources directly related to learning resources.

ISO/IEC 19788 provides principles, rules and structures for the specification of the description of a learning resource; it identifies and specifies the attributes of a data element as well as the rules governing their use. The key principles stated in ISO/IEC 19788-1 are informed by a user requirements-driven context with the aim of supporting multilingual and cultural adaptability requirements from a global perspective.

ISO/IEC 19788-1 is information technology neutral and defines a set of common approaches, i.e. methodologies and constructs, which apply to the development of the subsequent parts of ISO/IEC 19788.

Scope of Part 7 – Bindings

This Part of ISO/IEC 19788 provides RDF mappings of the different MLR entities introduced in the MLR framework (ISO/IEC 19788-1 and its amendment): Data element specifications (DESs), resource classes (RCs), data elements (DEs), application profiles (APs), MLR records and data element group specifications (DEGSs).

This Part 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.

Moreover, this Part provides an OWL 2 DL ontology for the resource classes and data element specifications (properties) introduced in the multipart ISO/IEC 19788 (MLR) standard.
