The specification defines a profile for the use of the following specifications which are (in the versions adopted here), already widely implemented and in use across the community:
- IEEE LOM emcopasing:
- ISO 15836:2003: Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (mapped to the corresponding elements in LOM)
- IEEE 1484.12.1-2002: Learning Object Metadata
- IEEE 1484.12.3-2005: LOM Schema binding (loose binding)
- IMS Content Packaging v1.2
- IMS Question & Test Interoperability v1.2.1
- IMS Authorization Web Service v1.0
The LOM, Content Packaging and Question & Test Interoperability specifications have each been profiled to simplify their use. Thus their scope has been constrained to those features commonly implemented and in use by the community. Experience suggests that interoperability problems that have arisen with implementations of these specifications are frequently the result of differing interpretations of the specs and options being taken that lead to divergence in behavior. A key goal of the Common Cartridge specification therefore has been to provide a tighter definition of their use thus eliminating this divergence. The resulting profile also lends itself to more effective conformance testing of implementations. |
