What role does metadata play in SCORM, IMS Content Packaging, OAI-PMH, MPEG, etc.?
Standards and specifications such as those listed in the question address multiple aspects of interoperability. Metadata has a role in all of these. For example, SCORM (the Sharable Content Object Reference Model) specifies a collection of specifications and standards for interoperability that includes a metadata standard as one piece. OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) is used to expose and gather metadata from multiple collections in various formats. Packaging standards, such as IMS Content Packaging and MPEG-21 Part 2, use metadata to describe resources and how they are organized.
