Must well know standard:

LOM (Learning Object Metadata - 1484.12)

Most interesting work for EIfEL:

- RCD (Reusable Competency Definition), under ballot

- 1484.11.3: IEEE Standard for Learning Technology-Extensible Markup Language (XML) Schema Binding for Data Model for Content Object Communication.
--> Cause it could be a missing link between LMS tracking and personal ePortoflio learning transcript in this case (learning using a LMS).

More information about IEEE RCD:

Draft IEEE RCD (Reusable Competency Definition) (standardised in September 2007):

Last draft:

The XML Schema binding example is based on IMS RDCEO schema:

An interesting proposal from Claude Ostyn about a competency framework using Scorm/IEEE standards:

Two main parts:

LOM Data Model Standard (1484.12.1) -> standard

LOM XML Binding (1484.12.3), now used in Scorm 2004 third edition.
