Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 19788-3 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 36, Information technology for learning, education and training.
ISO/IEC 19788 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology — Learning,
education and training — Metadata for learning resources:
 Part 1: Framework
 Part 2: Dublin Core elements
 Part 3: Basic application profile
The following parts are under preparation:
 Part 4: Technical elements
 Part 5: Educational elements
 Part 6: Availability, distribution, and intellectual property elements
Bindings and Data elements for MLR records will form the subjects of future parts.

0 Introduction
0.1 Overall purpose of ISO/IEC 19788
The primary purpose of ISO/IEC 19788 is to facilitate: (1) the description of a learning resource by providing a
standards-based approach to the identification and specification of the metadata elements required to
describe a learning resource, e.g. as a metadata learning resource (MLR) record; and (2) the search,
discovery, acquisition, evaluation, and use of learning resources, for instance by learners, instructors or
automated software processes. The interoperability of these functions can be achieved through harvesting or
federated search processes, among other technologies and solutions. ISO/IEC 19788 is based on identified
user requirements.
ISO/IEC 19788 is modularly structured with all subsequent parts corresponding to a specified set of user
requirements for the identification and specification of metadata elements having a particular focus and
intended use in the description of a learning resource. This includes categories of metadata elements focused
on technical perspectives, pedagogical aspects, availability and intellectual property aspects, bindings, etc.
0.2 Purpose and overview of this part of ISO/IEC 19788
This part of ISO/IEC 19788 provides a basic application profile as a recommended approach to enhance
interoperability through an application profile with attributes such as presence type indicator, repeatability
indicator and order indicator, applied to the Dublin Core elements specified in ISO/IEC 19788-2. Whenever
learning resource descriptions are exchanged across repositories, interoperability issues are raised. For
example, processing a query for learning resources in a given format requires that format information be
available in all descriptions being searched. Likewise, searching or sorting based on date can only be done
when a common format such as ISO 8601 is used in all sets.
1
This application profile is an ISO/IEC 19788 Type 2 standard. It is recommended that it be used as a best
practice guide that can be further refined by communities with data elements additions from other authorities
or communities, including the IEEE Standard for Learning Object Metadata (LOM) [4]. However, there is no
obligation for MLR stakeholders to use this application profile.
This application profile provides records of metadata elements promoting best practices based on an
2
international survey of commonly used data elements in an ITLET (information technology for learning,
education and training) context. It also reflects the actual practices of both the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative
(DCMI) and the IEEE Standard for Learning Object Metadata (LOM) [4].
As further Type 1 parts of ISO/IEC 19788 become available, it is likely that future editions of this part of
ISO/IEC 19788 will be updated to include additional data element specifications, such as Technical data
elements or Educational data elements.

Part 3:
Basic application profile
1 Scope
The primary purpose of ISO/IEC 19788 is to specify metadata elements and their attributes for the description
of learning resources. This includes the rules governing the identification of data elements and the
specification of their attributes.
ISO/IEC 19788 provides data elements for the description of learning resources and resources directly related
to learning resources.
This part of ISO/IEC 19788 is designed to help implementers with a starting point for adopting ISO/IEC 19788,
defining an application profile that specifies, through adding constraints to the use of some data elements,
how the ISO/IEC 19788-2 element set can be used.
