Guides to metadata, taxonomies and their implementation.


 
Dr. Tom’s Guide to Content Packaging
An introduction to the concepts in the IMS Content Packaging specification and a summary of the technical model. This document was originally written as a guide to IMS content packaging. As there are a lot of similarities with the SCORM packaging, it provides guidance for that specification, too.
Dr. Tom's Method of Multiples: A Case History of a Concrete Taxonomy Development. Multiple teams, multiple participants on each team, multiple independently tasked recorders create new knowledge. This paper presents the concepts and has a real case history of the development of a system of metadata and taxonomies. This method can be applied to many situations. Summary in several translations.
