P1484.12.2 PAR ISO 11404 Update

• PAR approved 2000-12-07
• SCOPE
• This standard specifies an ISO/IEC 114041996
  (Language Independent Datatypes) binding of the
  IEEE 1484.12.1 data model. An implementation
  that conforms to 1484.12.2 must conform to
  1484.12.1.
• PURPOSE
• The purpose of this standard is to provide
  precise data model semantics, as permitted by the
  11404 notation. The 11404 notation may be useful
  for bindings to programming languages and other
  systems.

• PAR approved 2002-05-09
• Standard for RDF binding for Learning Object
  Metadata P1484.12.1 Data Model
• initiated as a Study Group (as per previous
  Emails Sept. 19, 2001) our thanks to Jon Mason
  from Education.au Ltd in Australia,

P1484.12.4 RDF binding PAR (Approved May 9, 2002
)

• SCOPE
• This standard specifies a W3C RDF (Resource
  Description Format) binding of the IEEE 1484.12.1
  data model.
• An implementation that conforms to 1484.12.4 must
  conform to 1484.12.1.
• PURPOSE
• The purpose of this standard is to provide the
  RDF binding to enable the exchange of LOM
  instances between conforming systems that
  implement the 1484.12.1 data model.
