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 the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national 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 and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 19788-2 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 5: Educational elements
⎯ Part 6: Availability, distribution, and intellectual property elements
Technical elements will form the subject of a future Part 4.

Introduction
The primary purpose of ISO/IEC 19788 is to facilitate:
a) 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
b) the search, discovery, acquisition, evaluation, and use of learning resources, for instance by learners,
instructors or automated software processes.
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.
This part of ISO/IEC 19788 uses the data element specification model and framework provided in
ISO/IEC 19788-1 to set Dublin Core ISO 15836:2009 elements and associated remarks into the framework of
ISO/IEC 19788 so that they can later be used with other data elements from type 1 parts of ISO/IEC 19788,
addressing specific user communities' needs for extensions, modularization or refinement.
ISO/IEC 19788-3 provides a recommended approach to further enhance interoperability through an
application profile based on the data element specifications from this part of ISO/IEC 19788 as is, or with
added constraints.

Part 2:
Dublin Core elements
1 Scope
ISO/IEC 19788 specifies, in a rule-based manner, 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.
These metadata elements are used to form the description of a learning resource, i.e. as a metadata learning
resource (MLR) record.
This part of ISO/IEC 19788 provides a base-level data element set for the description of learning resources,
from the ISO 15836:2009 Dublin Core metadata element set, using the framework provided in
ISO/IEC 19788-1. This provides interoperability at the time of expressing existing Dublin Core records within
MLR.
These elements can later be combined with other descriptive elements, including those from other type 1
parts of ISO/IEC 19788 or other standards, including Dublin Core refinements and IEEE 1484.12.1-2002, in
order to address more specific topics such as technical or educational information.
