Introduction
This Standard is a multi-part standard that specifies Learning Object
Metadata. This Part specifies a conceptual data schema that defines the
structure of a metadata instance for a learning object. For this Standard, a
learning object is defined as any entity -digital or non-digital- that may be
used for learning, education or training.
For this Standard, a metadata instance for a learning object describes relevant
characteristics of the learning object to which it applies. Such characteristics
may be grouped in general, life cycle, meta-metadata, educational, technical,
educational, rights, relation, annotation, and classification categories.

Purpose
The purpose of this multi-part Standard is to facilitate search, evaluation,
acquisition, and use of learning objects, for instance by learners or instructors
or automated software processes.
This multi-part Standard also facilitates the sharing and exchange of learning
objects, by enabling the development of catalogs and inventories while taking
into account the diversity of cultural and lingual contexts in which the learning
objects and their metadata are reused.
