The ADL's SCORM provides specific requirements and guidance for using metadata to describe SCORM Content Model Components. The metadata defined is directly based on the IEEE 1484.12.1-2002 Learning Object Metadata (LOM) standard and the IEEE 1484.12.3 Standard for Extensible Markup Language (XML) Binding for Learning Object Metadata Data Model. The IEEE provides roughly 64 metadata elements that can be used to describe SCORM Content Model Components. SCORM strongly recommends the use of the IEEE LOM for describing SCORM Content Model Components.
SCORM describes how the IEEE LOM metadata element can be mapped to SCORM Content Model Components described in the Content Aggregation Model. This mapping of standardized elements and definitions from IEEE to the SCORM CAM provides the missing link between general specifications and specific content models.SCORM 2004 4th Edition |

The purpose of metadata is to provide a common nomenclature enabling learning resources to be described in a common way. Metadata can be collected in catalogs, as well as directly packaged with the learning resource it describes. Learning resources that are described with metadata can be systematically searched for and retrieved for use and reuse.
SCORM describes how the IEEE LOM metadata element can be mapped to SCORM Content Model Components described in the Content Aggregation Model. This mapping of standardized elements and definitions from IEEE to the SCORM CAM provides the missing link between general specifications and specific content models.
ADL metadata recommendations are broken up into five basic subsections each describing a different aspect of Metadata and how it relates to SCORM:- Metadata Overview. This section provides a general overview and background information on LOM and its relationship to SCORM.
- LOM Metadata Creation. This section defines requirements and guidance for creating metadata. The section provides the details on the requirements defined by IEEE and the details on building XML instances adhering to the IEEE LOM requirements.
- LOM XML Schema Validation Approaches. This section describes the validation approaches developed by IEEE and described in the IEEE Standard for XML Binding for LOM Data Model. The validation approaches provide different support for XML validation requirements depending on user needs.
- Metadata Extensions. This section describes the extension capabilities defined by IEEE Standard for XML Binding for Learning Object Metadata Data Model and SCORM. The section also discusses the pros and cons to creating extensions.
- Metadata and SCORM Content Model Components. This section describes one method for how metadata could be associated with the SCORM Content Model Components
