LRMI was specifically tasked with creating a way of describing learning 
resources in the context of schema.org, that is microdata (or RDFa Lite) 
embedded in the HTML of web pages. The approach is quite different from 
the stand-alone XML records of IMS LRM/IEEE LOM. That said the 
characteristics being described are the same, and 10 years worth of 
experience with educational metadata standards like IMS LRM, IEEE LOM, 
DC-Ed certainly helped in deciding which characteristics were (and were 
not) worth encoding.
