LOM compliance

Dear friends,

I'm in the process of validating GNU Edu LOM export.
(See http://gnuedu.ofset.o
rg/lom.php)

Among a few details we have to deal with, I can see they
have
now found a reasonable set for "learning resource
type" attribute
(please refer to GNU Edu forms for adding a resource if you
don't know
what's that...)

So until since June 2005 we have the following CELEBRATE
values :

Drill and Practice
Exploration
Open Activity
Guide
Information Resource
Glossary
Tool
Assessment

and SCORM/LOM now propose the following:

Exercise
Simulation
Questionnaire
Diagram
Figure
Graph
Index
Slide
Table
Narrative text
Exam
Experiment
Problem statement
Self assessment
Lecture

As it always makes life easier to comply when you can, and
LOM values
seem reasonable, I'm planning to convert the GNU Edu
database to those,
provided none of us finds a good reason not to do so (for
the use of LOM
vocabularies is not complulsory, to actually comply with LOM
standard)

Any opinion?

Odile, I agree, please proceed.

I still have a difficulty with some values :

[self quotation]

So until since June 2005 we have the following CELEBRATE
values :

Drill and Practice
Exploration
Open Activity
Guide
Information Resource
Glossary
Tool
Assessment

and SCORM/LOM now propose the following:

Exercise
Simulation
Questionnaire
Diagram
Figure
Graph
Index
Slide
Table
Narrative text
Exam
Experiment
Problem statement
Self assessment
Lecture

So:

Drill and Practice -> Exercise
Exploration -> Simulation
Open Activity -> ? (like many in GCompris)
Guide -> Lecture ( = "course")
Information Resource -> Narrative text ?
Glossary -> ? (happily we don't have any in GNU Edu
database)
Tool -> ? 
Assessment -> Exam (or self-assessment, but here also we
don't have many
in the DB yet)

I especially regret the value "Tool". I'd like to
write an extension to
the LOM schema, but that's a lot of work.

More generally, the former CELEBRATE values were less
schoolish, more
"open". And the new LOM values are closer to the
context in schools.

Any opinions?

I suppose that these equivalences are those who allow to
keep most of
the semantics input into gnu-edu. I think that there is no
perfect system
creating boundaries between cognitive objects.
