<p>Mburnet: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Feature description:''' Build on the keywords in 1.6 to provide metadata for all activities and courses, linkable to standard lists of metadata such as State-based learning outomes and curricula.<br /> <br /> This page is an initial place to discuss options for storing and managing moodle metadata. These are just suggestions and are made by a person who does not know moodle internals.<br /> <br /> There are several steps to managing a complex applications metadata:<br /> # Document the key &quot;Data Element Concpets&quot; and their structure. This would include high-level concepts such as Course, Student, Teacher etc.<br /> # Document data element properties associated with each concept. Properties should always be associated with a concept.<br /> # Store this metadata in a metadata &quot;registry&quot;, a centrally managed place to store metadata<br /> # Create a system that allows users to modify and update metadata<br /> <br /> There are several ways to approach this.<br /> <br /> * There are metadata registry standards such as ISO/IEC 11179. This standard has a wide number of interpretations.<br /> * There are other education metadata standards such as IMS global and the School Interoperability Framework (SIF)<br /> * Once the metadata is stored in a consistant place and format, transforms can be made to extract portions of the metadata using reports or transforms<br /> * A metadata registry can be the heart of a model-driven architecture<br /> <br /> Most systems attempt to seperate the semantics from the representation of metadata.<br /> # Semantics tell us the meaning of a data element but are free from version or constraints<br /> # Representations of the metadata tell us what table and column metadata appears in each version of Moodle and what the limitations are in a specification<br /> <br /> Many metadata managment systems use a 3-part data element name:<br /> <br /> ClassPropertyTerm<br /> <br /> Were Class is the concept, property is a property of that concept and Term is a Representation term such as Count, Date, ID, Indicator, Text<br /> <br /> For example:<br /> <br /> CourseDescriptionText<br /> <br /> ==Questions==<br /> * Where can we get a list of key moodle conceptual data elements and their definitions?<br /> <br /> * How do we set up a data stewardship role so individuals take responsiblity for maintaining subsets of all the data elements?<br /> <br /> * What should the highest level data elements be? Course, Enrollment, Organization, Person, Quiz<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Metadata:MoodleCore]] LOM application profile for Moodle course<br /> * [[Thing]] A root data element of a metadata registry<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadata_registry Wikipedia entry for Metadata registry]<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_11179 Wikipedia entry for ISO/IEC 11179 ]<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_element Wikipedia entry for Data element]<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representation_term Wikipedia entry for Representation term]<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_element_name Wikipedia entry for Data element name ]<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_element_definition Wikipedia entry for Data element definition ]<br /> <br /> ==Example of a K-12 education metadata registry for ==<br /> * [http://education.state.mn.us/datadictionary Minnesota (US) Department of Education Data Dictionary]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Future]]</div>
