[QTI] QTI 21.1 meta-data question

[Steve Lay]

Uma,

I see nobody got back to this query from some time ago.  I think the 
problem with this type of question is that metadata tends to be very 
community specific.  So words like "Grade" (I'm guessing this is what we 
call "Year" in the UK) and "Skill" are hard to map onto standard 
metadata frameworks like LOM (which QTI recommends).

One way to go about trying to solve this problem is to find somebody in 
the community that defines those terms for you and see if they have 
already started mapping these terms onto 'standard' metadata frameworks 
like LOM or dublin core.

In the US, SIF have made some progress I believe.
