[Oer-community] SUSPECT: Re: Metadata for OER and International Open Access Association

[Stracke, Christian]

Dear Pat,

metadata are for descriptions and not for assessing.
And the metadata does not cost (you can use them as you want), only the ISO standards as documentation how to define, apply and implement.
But hopefully the ISO standards will be for free soon.

Best wishes
Christian


With best regards

Christian Stracke

How does an open community assess using metadata that has costs?

We've certainly come a long way since Dublin Core and IMS LRM. They were
free. IEEE LOM will cost you about $100 (though if you Google you'll
find the final draft for free).   What's published so far of ISO MLR
costs from CHF 98 - 170  per part, so for 10 parts that's well over
US$1,000 just to see whether it's useful.  Or is there an open access
copy somewhere?
