Abstract

The study aims to develop a core set of metadata elements for K9 e-learning resources based on a case study of Education to e-Learning Project under auspice of the Ministry of Education in Taiwan. Eventually, a set of 53 metadata elements has been developed as a LOM-based application profile for Taiwan K9 e-learning resources, and two guidelines are also produced for metadata system implementation and cataloguing. Furthermore, three findings are presented as follows. (1) The LOMAP implied the LOM has attained a high acceptance in Taiwan K9 e-learning community. (2) The Taiwan K9 LOMAP covers functional requirements of element attributes, such as mandatory or optional, for system development. (3) A challenge in controlled vocabulary for interoperability among different LOMAPs will emerge. Finally, this study suggests that the Taiwan K9 LOMAP would be a ground to further include more samples and domains, in order to become a Taiwan LOM Core.
