Schematron Strict Selection Validation Rules -------------------------------------------- This is the set of Schematron rules that have been created to enforce the use of the "Unordered" stereotype. These rules ensure that the number of entries in an unordered complexType of an element obey the multiplicity constraints. This is required so that any-order/any-multiplicity complexTypes can be constructed and validated. Schematron validation rules for the enforcement of the Unordered stereotype.

The LOM complexType is the container for the metadata instance. The Technical complexType is the container for the information that describes the technical requirements and characteristics of this learning object. The OrComposite complexType is the container for grouping multiple requirements. The composite requirement is satisfied when one of the component requirements is satisfied i.e. the logical connector is 'OR'. The Type complexType is the container for the information about the technology required to use this learning object e.g. hardware, software, network, etc. The Name complexType is the container for the name of the required technology to use this learning object. The value for this element may be derived from the 'technical.format' automatically e.g. 'video/mpeg' implies 'multi-os'. Also, this vocabulary includes most values in common use at the time the LOM Standard was created. The Requirement complexType is the container for the information about the technical capabilities necessary for using this learning object. If there are multiple requirements, then all are required i.e. the logical connector is 'AND'. The Educational complexType is the container for the information that describes the key educational or pedagogic characteristics of this learning object. This is pedagogical informtion essential to those involved in achieving a quality learning experience. The audience for this metadata includes teachers, managers, authors and learners. The InteractivityType complexType is the container for the information about the predominant mode of learning supported by this learning project. For the Strict LOM binding this is an enumerated vocabulary. The LearningResourceType complexType is the container for the information about the specific kind of learning object. The most dominant kind shall be first. The vocabulary terms are defined as in OED:1989 and as used by any educational communties of practice. The InteractivityLevel complexType is the container for information about the degree of interactivity of the learning object. Interactiviy in this context refers to the degree to which the learner can influence the aspect or behaviour of the learning object. Inherently, this scale is meaningful within the context of a community of practice. The SemanticDensity complexType is the container for the information about the degree of conciseness of a learning object. The semantic density of a learning object may be estimated in terms of its size, or - in the case of self-timed resources such as audio or video - duration. The semantic density of a learning object is independent of its difficulty. The IntendedEndUserRole complexType is the container for the information about the principal user(s) for which this learning object was designed, most dominant first. For Strict LOM binding this has an enumerated vocabulary. The Classification element can be used to describe the role through the skills the user is intended to master, or the tasks he or she is intended to be able to accomplish. The Context complexType is the container for the information about the principal environment within which the learning and use of this learning object is intended to take place. Suggested good practice is to use one of the values of the value space and to use an additional instance of this data element for further refinement. The Difficulty complexType is the container for the information about how hard it is to work with or through this learning object for the typical intended target audience. The typical audience can be characterised by the data elements Educational.Context and Educational.TypicalAgeRange. The MetaMetadata complexType is the container for the information that describes this metadata record itself (raher than the learning object that this record describes). This category describes how the metadata instance can be identified, who created this metadata instance, and how, when, and with what references. The ContributeMetametadata complexType is the container for the information about those entities that have affected the state of this metadata instance during its lifecycle e.g. creation, validation. This information is about contributions to the metadata. The RoleMetaMetadata complexType is the container for the information about the kind of contribution. For strict LOM this has an enumerated vocabulary of: { creator | validator }. The Rights complexType describes the intellectual property rights and conditions of use for this learning object. NOTE: The intent is to reuse results of ongoing work in the Intellectual Property Rights and e-commerce communities. This category currently provides the absolute minimum level of detail only. The Cost complexType is the container for whether use of this learning object requires payment. The CopyrightAndOtherRestrictions complexType defines whether copyright or other restrictions apply to the use of this learning object. The Structure complexType is the container about the underlying organizational structure of this learning object. The AggregationLevel complexType is the container for the information about the functional granularity of this learning object. The LifeCycle complexType is the container for the history and current state of this learning object and those entities that have affected this learning object during its evolution. The Status complexType is the container for the completion status or the condition of this learning object. The Contribute complexType is the container for the entities (i.e. people, organizations) that have contributed to the state of the learning object. The Role complexType is the container for the kind of contribution. The Relation complexType is the container for the information that defines the relationship between this learning object and other learning objects, if any. To define multiple relationships, there may be multiple instances of this category. If there is more than one target learning object the each object shall have a new relationship instance. The Kind complexType is the container for the nature of the relationship between this learning object and the target learning object, identified by information in the associated Resource complexType. In LOMv1.0 (Strict) this is an enumerated vocabulary. The Resource complexType is the container for the information about the target learning object that this relationship references. The Annotation complexType is the container for comments on the educational use of this learning object, and information on when and by whom the comments were created. This category enables educators to share their assessements of learning objects suggestions for use, etc. The Classification complexType is the container for information which describes where this learning object falls within a particular classification system. To define multiple classifications, there may be multiple instances of this category. The Purpose complexType is the container for the information on the purpose of classifying this learning obect. For the Strict LOM binding this is an enumerated vocabulary. The TaxonPath complexType is the container for the information about the taxonomic path in a specific classification system. Each succeeding level is a refinement in the definition of the preceding level. There may be different paths in the same or different classifications, which describe the same characteristic. The Taxon complexType is the container for the information about a particular term within a taxonomy. A taxon is a node that has a defined label or term. A taxon may also have an alphanumeric designation or identifier for standardized reference. Either or both the label and the entry may be used to designate a particular taxon. An ordered list of taxons creates a taxonomic path i.e. 'taxononomic stairway': this is a path from a more general to more specific entry in a classification. The DateTime abstract complexType is the container for the annotated date/time. An accuracy of at least one second is supported. The ISO 8601 format is used. An associated description is also provided. The LangString complexType is the container for a group of language specific characterstrings. The Identifier complexType is the container for the globally unique idenitifer that identifies the associated parent object. The Duration abstract complexType is the container for an annotated duration. The value space for the duration is defined as per ISO 8601:2000.
