The Resource List Interoperability (RLI) specification details how structured meta-data can be exchanged between systems that store and expose resources for the purpose of creating resource lists and those that gather and organize those resource lists for educational or training purposes.
The initial release of the RLI specification addresses the issue of how to organize, describe and exchange traditional lists of course resources (such as bibliographies). The data model comprises a minimal set of elements for citing print publications. Nevertheless, given the simplicity, generality and design of the RLI model, materials in other media can be adequately described and included within resource lists as currently defined. Just as importantly, the model is designed so that it may be easily extended to specify different resource types in subsequent iterations.
In the future, it is highly unlikely that any one standard will be adopted to describe bibliographic resources, much less
digital resources in general. |
