A point in time with accuracy at least as small as one second, as described by IEEE LOM in clause 8 (IEEE 1484.12.1-2002). 1 1 A technical capability necessary for using a learning object. 1 1 1 1 A datatype that represents one or more character strings. A LangString value may include multiple semantically equivalent character strings, such as translations or alternative descriptions. A vCard is a collection of one or more properties. A property is a uniquely named value. A set of properties can be grouped within a vCard. For example, the properties for a telephone number and comment can be grouped in order to preserve the coupling of the annotation with the telephone number. In addition to property groupings, a vC. versit is developing a comprehensive family of PDI technologies based on open specifications and interoperability agreements to help meet this technology need. 1 1 1 A concept which defines the relationship between a learning object and other learning objects, if any. 1 1 Description of where a learning object falls within a particular classification system. To define multiple classifications, there may be multiple instances of this category for a learning object. 1 1 1 1 1 A globally unique label that identifies either a learning object or a learning object metadata record. 1 1 1 Those entities (i.e., people, organizations) that have contributed to the state of this learning object during its life cycle (e.g., creation, edits, publication). Each of the possible semantically equivalent character strings of a langString. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Any entity, digital or non-digital, that may be used for learning, education or training. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 An interval in time with accuracy at least as small as one second. 1 1 1 A 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. 1 1 1 1 1 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., "taxonomic stairway": this is a path from a more general to more specific entry in a classification. 1 1 1 1 1 Comments on the educational use of a learning object, including information on when and by whom the comments were created. The technical capabilities necessary for using a learning object. There can be multiple requirements, in which case all are required, i.e., the logical connector is AND.
