Abstract
This draft report (31 pages) is about the use of metadata in five collections using the IEEE LOM metadata framework. Samples from the following collections were included: ARIADNE (UK), LTSN Economics (UK), CELTS (Chinese E-learning technology standard using a LOM apllication profile), CAREo (Canada) and Metalab (France). There is an Appendix which gives detailed tables such as the metadata elements populated by collection in totals and in percentages, the values assigned to each element, etc. The introduction from the report states: "The international LOM Survey, first announced in the spring of 2003, has been continued into 2004. Over time, response to the calls for participation in this survey has been most favourable, and the survey has been able to base its analyses on five large record samples from widely varying regions, including the European Union, Canada, and China. In analyzing these samples, this survey focuses on two questions: 1) "Which elements were selected for use or population?"; and 2) "How were these elements used, or what where the types of values assigned to them?" In addition to answering these two fundamental questions for these large sample sets, this report also reviews findings from earlier, preliminary stages of the survey which make use of a broader range but a smaller total sample of records. Finally, this report also attempts to draw a number of tentative suggestions and conclusions for further standardization work from as many of its as possible."
