An implementation of Learning Objects Management System

This paper presents a LOMS (Learning Objects Management System) based on the B/S architecture for the support to the reusability and interoperability of various learning objects. After classifying the existing standards, the XML technology is used to support different metadata standards and possible emerging of new standards and standard changes. The system works well with metadata standards IEEE LOM and CELTS-3 now. The work of user input during the metadata generation also has considerably been reduced by the template together with information gathered from the system. The adoption of Xindice-an XML-native database makes the search and retrieval of learning objects effective and easy.
