Supporting Health Sciences Education with Ims-Based Multimedia Repository

Recently, the IMS Learning Resource Meta-Data Specification [1] was released, paving the way for efficient repurposing of educational multimedia in a multitude of learning environments. The goal of the current project is the development of a national repository of multimedia that supports all levels of health sciences education and that is in accordance with the IMS specifications. An n-tiered, distributed database system will facilitate the discovery, exchange, and implementation of digital multimedia. Keywords XML, distributed objects, metadata, education, IMS.
